FYI, I sent the following letter to several papers and TV news organizations. You might find it useful in any discussions on the subject.

"In conversations with people who have been following the CBS "document" story, I find many who believe that retired Lt. Colonel Bill Burkett, usually described as a "National Guard officer" or a "National Guard official", was in the Texas Air National Guard (ANG) and was then-Lt. George W. Bush's superior officer. But Mr. Burkett was in the Texas Army National Guard (ARNG), a different organization, and would probably have had little or no contact with the Texas Air National Guard or its personnel.
While it is technically correct to refer to the Army National Guard as simply "the National Guard", it is misleading in this context. I believe you can do a service to the public by making clear Mr. Burkett's former affiliation."
