A ?Lost? Fact in the ?Rathergate? Mess

clipped by: n2sooners
clippers remarks: Now the question is, did she share what she knew with her correspondent, Dan Rather. Or to put it another way: What did Rather know " and when did he know it?
Until now, the controversy over the Rather/Mapes story has centered almost entirely on one issue:  the legitimacy of the documents

But it turns out that there was another very important issue, one that goes to the very heart of what the story was about

Mary Mapes knew before she put the story on the air that George W. Bush, the alleged slacker, had in fact volunteered to go to Vietnam.

Who says?  The outside panel CBS brought into to get to the bottom of the so-called ?Rathergate? mess says

Mapes had information prior to the airing of the September 8 [2004] Segment that President Bush, while in the TexANG [Texas Air National Guard] did volunteer for service in Vietnam

a flight instructor who served in the TexANG with Lieutenant Bush advised Mapes in 1999 that Lieutenant Bush ?did want to go to Vietnam but others went first.?

others advised Mapes in 1999, and again in 2004 before September 8, that Lieutenant Bush had volunteered to go to Vietnam but did not have enough flight hours to qualify.
