DO NOT SPAM MAIL THIS REPORT

The "CBS 60 Minutes Document Forgery Project Working Group" has worked long and hard on what we believe is a valuable and constructive Report. If you feel some agency, media, or CBS affiliate, etc. should have a copy, please download it and print it out. Then simply mail or hand deliver it. That way, your delivery will be far more appreciated than filling the recipient's computer with 600K of "spam", which we all know and love. Any kind of unsolicited "spamming" degrades the value of our effort and we ask that you respect our wishes in this regard.

Besides, sending a printed copy to the recipient will have a greater impact: It shows you cared more than simply hitting the SEND button. Additionally, a printed document is far more useful as the recipient can: think about it more carefully, mark it up with underlines or make notes, carry it to a meeting, read it on a commute or trip, or simply pass it around the office.

Again, the "CBS 60 Minutes Document Forgery Project Working Group" appreciates your interest and encourages you to download this document, save it, send it or the link to friends, etc. Please, however, respect our wishes and efforts and do not send this document as an unsolicited "spam mail" to anyone. If you think it is useful, print it and mail it using the title page behind this one.

This report is the property of the Working Group which prepared it. Links to this site are encouraged, but the hosting or full reproduction of this Report on another site is not permitted. However, you may quote portions of this Report provided that proper citation of the Report is included with the quotation.

Thanks from all of us who worked on the document.

The CBS 60 Minutes Document Forgery Project Working Group.

This Report is based on information compiled and available as of September 29, 2004 and was developed by a Working Group of concerned citizens who used FreeRepublic.com as a clearing house for the exchange of ideas and information. The use of FreeRepublic.com enabled the Working Group to have timely access to, and draw upon, the knowledge of hundreds of professionals and experts across the Country. Examples include typography and word processing, military protocol, document validation, and many other related areas. In addition, the Working Group used that site, as well as many other internet sites, to monitor other efforts that were also addressing questions relating to the Documents used on the September 8, 2004 60 Minutes program. Other than these activities, the Working Group has no formal relationship with the FreeRepublic.com site, or with its founder or management. Access to the Working Group which is informally associated together on the internet is at http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/cbsdfp/ by subscription only.

Bump-ity-bump!

This is just excellent! It's doing Congress' work for them, and here's hoping there's a full investigation. Someone needs to wear prison orange over this.

IANAL, but Scylla & Charybdis blog has been commenting for weeks about the legal (specifically criminal) possibilities, mostly under Texas law.

One recent post is from Dec 29: CBS Report Legal Checklist for Scylla&Charybdis readers:, but there are others.

Chris Cox, Chairman of House Government Reform Committee was on earlier today and said a criminal investigation needs to be conducted because of "forging and misuse of government documents" is a crime. Also, said that it is criminal to attempt to use knowingly use false documents to influence a federal election.

Ask if there is a separation between News and Government, he failed to clearly answer. The appropriate answer is that since a crime has been committed, then sources are not protected and anyone protecting sources is complicit in the crime.

Let's hope they proceed with the investigation. Enough MSM/democRAT pollution.

But remember, Sandy Berger has not been indicted.
see tagline!

My God, the people here are amazing. Just awesome! As a conservative Louisiana stay at home mom, who just happened upon this site when I was searching the web for information on Scott Peterson(lol)let me say thank you. I am so proud to be a member of this forum and I have the utmost respect for each and everyone of you.

Regarding the CBS/Rather saga, do you realize what you have done? How without you, this would have never been brought to light? I do and I am so grateful. To all here who contributed to this I salute you, and again congratulations!

I say (or think) the very same thing several times a week, about the knowledge, experience, intelligence, analytical skill, of other freepers.

At 9:09 am on Sep 11, freepers were discussing whether bin Laden was behind the terrorism.

Kind of makes you wonder about Rather's past!

Rather lied to all of America in claiming that the head shot pushed John F. Kennedy's head forward. Rather's meteoric rise to network status and stardom soon followed.

Oh My! Yes indeed and what he will do in the future. Thanks, I've been given so many good links today and have so much reading to do. Question: Is their an archived section from when FR started to present day?

Since you're a neighbor(sortof) I'll give you something to start with. If you'll follow this LINK, you'll find threads going back several years relating to FR's fund raisers. There is usually a post fairly early in some of the threads that give a pretty good history of FR. I know there are some around here that could probably pull one off their hard drive. Good luck.
