Garry B Trudeau, the author of the Doonesbury comic strip, has put up $10,000 of his personal fortune for anyone who will come forward and confirm to having witnessed, first-hand, GW Bush's putiative Air Guard service story, in which the President claims not to have deserted his military post, despite all evidence to the contrary.

For the past several weeks, trolling-for-trash journalists have made repeated forays into the continuing mystery of George W. Bush's Air National Guard service (to catch up on developments, read Salon's "Bad news doesn't get better with age", The Decatur Daily's "Former Dannelly worker: Bush not AWOL", The Nation's "W's AWOL Spin Update!", and -- of particular interest -- The Memphis Flyer's "On Guard -- Or Awol?"). With just eight months left in the presidential campaign, GBT is hoping to speed the disclosure process along by offering a $10,000 reward to coax a witness to step forward and confirm President Bush's story, thereby putting the whole sordid mess behind us.
