Any forgery experts here?

''Burkett, who lives just outside of Abilene, wrote that no one at the Kerry campaign called him back.'' Good work! Maybe after the election CBS will have a spot for them.
 
Have you guys seen this? The Washington Post did a side by side comparo of cBS's docs with known good docs.

Holy **** this is more pathetic than I expected. It is freaking comical.

CBS News Concludes It Was Misled on National Guard Memos

"Officials say they are now beginning to believe the report was too flawed to have gone on the air."

You think?

This is going to get pretty ugly now. Who at CBSNews was protecting the source of the forged documents, who ignored the experts who warned the documents are forgeries, who will be the fall guys/girls at CBSNews? Let the train wreck begin.
 
A bit of research, and I've discovered how these documents were originally uncovered.

Note that the typing characters disply no overlap.
 
Well..let's see it took CBS a week and a half after anyone with average intelligence was able to figure it out. I guess the fact that CBS will go on spouting their lies after this blows over (and some people actually listen) shows just how far we have fallen.

Good one Shannow

Some lackey, but not Dan Rather.

I'm sure Dan Rather was positively orgasmic that he (thought he) found something bad on Bush
and wanted so very very badly for it to be true, or that he hates Bush so much that he lost all objectivity and figured it had to be true, that he ran with it.

All this goes to show that more than anything else, the news media is all about entertainment. Does anybody remember the (fake) Hitler diaries?

So, Dan, now that the ineptly forged documents are exposed for what they are, where did you get them? Forging government documents is a federal crime. Who should we prosecute, Dan?

Dan - what did you know and when did you know it? Obstructing the prosecution is also a crime, Dan.

If I read the tealeaves correctly, you are referring to the Valerie Plame "leak" story? That story is long since dead because Joseph Wilson has been proven to be the one telling lies and Novak released information that was not privileged. There is no story, even Dan Rather came up empty

The Rathergate Forgeries story still has a long way to go. I for one don't believe that CBSNews ignored expert witnesses to run this story, without significant counterbalancing from high level democrats. That's my opinion. Dan Rather was surely protecting more than Burkett, a small time Bush hater that could have been thrown to the wolves last week.
 
NBCasked some pretty tough questions. I was surprised. They even implied that the Investigation might not be conducted out of house

STATEMENT FROM DAN RATHER:

Last week, amid increasing questions about the authenticity of documents used in support of a 60 MINUTES WEDNESDAY story about President Bush's time in the Texas Air National Guard, CBS News vowed to re-examine the documents in question—and their source—vigorously. And we promised that we would let the American public know what this examination turned up, whatever the outcome.

Now, after extensive additional interviews, I no longer have the confidence in these documents that would allow us to continue vouching for them journalistically. I find we have been misled on the key question of how our source for the documents came into possession of these papers. That, combined with some of the questions that have been raised in public and in the press, leads me to a point where—if I knew then what I know now—I would not have gone ahead with the story as it was aired, and I certainly would not have used the documents in question.

But we did use the documents. We made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry. It was an error that was made, however, in good faith and in the spirit of trying to carry on a CBS News tradition of investigative reporting without fear or favoritism.

Please know that nothing is more important to us than people's trust in our ability and our commitment to report fairly and truthfully.

Even if one believes that the original release of the document by CBS was in good faith, the back peddling by CBS to try and deny what has become an obvious scam has been anything but good faith.
