1) CBS will once again stand by their "story" saying the documents aren't important.
2) They will get someone to "support" the general messge of their story.
In effect, they will continue to cover their backside.
THOSE EXPECTING A MEA CULPA WILL BE GREATLY DISAPPOINTED.
The latest story, and the truth, finally, is that these documents were recreated faithfully from old originals, too valuable and fragile for public display, recreated in a lab by experts using modern scientific methods and equipment, much the same way that old piano rolls are turned into modern high fidelity CD recordings, or color Three Stooges movies are recreated as digital DVDs from black and white analog originals. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

The latest smear is that GW got preferential treatment to get into the TANG and avoid Vietnam. So RATS and CBS will hammer away at that line. Unfortunately, the voters think how he got into the TANG is irrelevant. He flew planes, something most of us would be terrified to attempt. He could have been sent to Vietnam, as some were. He's been one hell of a CINC. Since 9/11, he's kept us from harm in deeply perilous times. Voters trust him with their lives. They know Kerry is bad news.

On Drudge:
Statement by the President of CBS News, Andrew Heyward:
"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television. There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know. Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."
