re: #12 Charles

The “new information” is not that Bush volunteered for Vietnam - it’s that Mapes was aware of this while preparing her fraudulent report.

Even that isn’t new. I wrote this in 2005:

According to page 71 of the report, Mapes was told that then-Lieutenant Bush had volunteered for active duty in Vietnam but did not have enough flight hours to qualify. Astonishingly, this is a piece of information which I have never seen anywhere in the media, which CBS apparently decided to sit on. (This information is reinforced on the top of page 140, as multiple sources backed it up — some of whom imparted this information to Mapes as far back as 1999.)
