Did George W. Bush lie on his security clearance application?

[oneighty]

From my security clearance application form: (DD FORM 1 July 56 48).

Box 26.

Have you ever been arrested, charged, or held by Federal, State, or other law enforcement authorities, for any violation of any federal law, state law, county or municipal law, regulation or ordinance? Include all Court Martials, while in military service, do not include any thing that happened before your 16th birthday. Do not include traffic violations for which the only penalty was a fine of $25.00 or less. All other charges must be included even if they were dismissed.

I certify that I know that any misrepresentation or false statement made by me herein may subject me to prosecution under section 1001 of the united States criminal code, with penalties up to five (5) years imprisonment and $10,000 fine.

I certify I have read and understand each sentence of this certification.

In the Navy I had a top secret security clearance. As a civilian on several occasions I had a secret clearance. Each time I was required to make a new updated application. Lying for any reason whatsoever would result in serious problems..Deep Dodo.

We recall the Linda Tripp was given a pass for political reasons on her failure to report an arrest. Might George also have been given a pass?

1. He got a pass on everything else

He has been passed, upwards, all his life. He's failed all the way to the top.

2. Probably

He appears to be a habitual liar and I'm sure he picked that habbit up early in life.

3. I think they should release the DD forms for the entire White House

I made Secret Clearance c. 1981-2, and that gave me clearance up to a certain level ... and, these jokers have full-clearance ... not all felons are treated equally

4. not releasable?

wasn't that what tripp complained about? unless HE reveals it, those who process forms cannot reveal. so we'll (probably) never know.

i think you must be right about that though.
