Thornburgh is a true conservative, that is all we need to know. Any lingering animosity will only insure his impartiality.
Thornburgh needs to get the business and cell phone logs of Mapes, Rather, and every other CBS employee who worked on this story. When and how often did they call Lockhart or any other person associated with the Kerry campaign or the DNC? Mapes has shown her willingness to act as a conduit for people who would prefer that others not know they are communicating. Further, the release of Fortunate Son one day after the Rather report cannot be coincidental. I question the timing. Flagrant breach of standard journalistic practices is not the issue here. Collusion between CBS and the Democrats is.
