This is currently on the CBS website. I wouldn't expect their clarifying memo to be much different.
CBS has also said its story about Mr. Bush's guard service relied on much more than documents. Featured in the segment was former Texas Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes, a Democrat who claims he pulled strings to get Mr. Bush into the Guard in 1968.
CBS News on Tuesday said the report by Dan Rather did not rely on assessments made by the two examiners quoted in the ABC report, and found it notable the secretary affirmed the content of the documents.
"We continue to believe in this story," said CBS News senior vice president Betsy West.

LOL, she affirmed the documents were fakes. What she said was she thought that was what Killian was thinking. I guess she knew him better than his wife and kids....

To be "fair" shouldn't See BS have noted that Barnes denied such favoritism under oath a couple of years earlier? I would think so ... ;-)
