Earlier this week, amid controversy over the validity of the recently released documents saying President Bush skirted his military duty in Texas, CBS News said they can now longer confirm that the memos from Col. Jerry Killian are real.
Questions have abounded since the release of the documents two weeks ago that were allegedly from the last Texas Air National Guard Colonel Jerry Killian, who said that he gave President George W. Bush preferential treatment in the guard and in making up lost flight hours.
On Monday night's CBS Evening News, anchor Dan Rather apologized for the "mistake" and that he "was sorry." Rather added, "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." Rather also admitted that he "wasn't as good on this story as I would have liked to have been."
The network, whose has been deeply hurt by this scandal, also revealed their "unimpeachable source." The man is former Texas National Guard officer Bill Burkett, who has called Bush a liar who has "demonic personality shortcomings."
Burkett now admits that he lied about who he got the documents from, but says he did it because Rather's Dallas-based producer, Mary Mapes, pressured him to reveal the source.
CBS News president Andrew Heyward admits that CBS rushed the story to air, which aired on the Sept. 8 episode of 60 Minutes II despite concerns expressed by some of the CBS-hired document experts that the memos could not have been made on a 1972 typewriter.
"In retrospect, we shouldn't have used the documents, and we clearly should have spent more time and more effort to authenticate them," Heyward admitted to The Washington Post.

At least, it seems, the executives are speaking what we want to hear: "Read my lips, no more Rather!"
Now go and throw it into a few Leftist forums.
Got any suggestions?
I'm not going to suggest anything lest it come back on the Freep. They're unfortunately plentiful. I found a few of them before I even found the Freep, truth be told.
I'd also resize my images. And while on the subject of images, everyone ought to have Irfanview and XnView in their toolbox.

I understand. My question should have been whether I should "invade" a forum or a news site like Daily Kos.
I run Linux, so my system won't run IrfanView. But I have the GIMP to replace that.
WOW, JoJo, I think I love ya. That is so awesome. You are so awesome.Thanks for the links.
You're making me blush, hehe. I'm just glad to help out.
