The Lynching of Dan Rather: "Is Rather's report accurate? ... two crucial documents supporting the BBC/CBS story. The first is Barnes' signed and sworn affidavit to a Texas Court, from 1999, in which he testifies to the Air Guard fix -- which Texas Governor George W. Bush, given the opportunity, declined to challenge.
And there is a second document, from the files of US Justice Department, again confirming the story of the fix to keep George's white bottom out of Vietnam. That document, shown last year in the BBC television documentary, 'Bush Family Fortunes,' correctly identifies Barnes as the bag man even before his 1999 confession. "
