Bush Bio "Error?"
 
The Boston Globe points out that the State Department has, since 2001,
featured an embellished account of Bush's National Guard service on the
Internet. The site "credits him with almost six years in the F-102's
cockpit -- two years on active duty flying the plane and nearly four
more years of part-time service as an F-102 pilot. The websites of at
least five American embassies -- those in Germany, Italy, Pakistan,
Vietnam, and South Korea -- use the identical language, even though Bush
spent barely two years flying the airplane."

The Globe quotes Dan Bartlett, White House communications director,
admitting the bio is wrong: "It does not reflect the facts of his
service. It will be corrected."
