Interesting that Rather is a Texan...but not a friend of Bush, for sure.

CBS and Rather have admitted a "mistake in judgement" Then, in my book, they've admitted SQUAT!

A "mistake in judgment" is using a 5-iron from 110 yards out. A "mistake in judgment" is punting on 4th and one when you are 7 points down in the last 30 seconds of a football game. A "mistake in judgment" is sending your bank account number to a guy who sent you an email and says he'll split a million bucks with you when he is able to get it out of his African country. This was not a mistake in judgment -- it was a deliberate attempt to do damage to a president and affect an election.

They also said they had been working on the story for five years. It may be that when they thought they finally had their confirmation they would go for it. They also probably thought that if they don't use it now, they will never be able to use it.
What makes me mad is that as far as the documents were concerned , they only said they had not been able to validate them (not that they weren't true). I know it's hard to validate documents but I thought that it was relatively easy it invalidate (poor forged) documents, which is what I thought everyone has done.
Why haven't they thrown CBS out of the debate, as moderator, yet. I hear nothing on this anymore.

The Six Stages of a Project --
1. Wild Enthusiasm.... (check)
2. Denial.... (check, Rather is still hung up here)
3. Hopeless Despair.... (check)
4. Search for the Guilty.... (Panel appointed, check)
5. Blame of the Innocent (coming soon)
6. Praise and Honor for Nonparticipants

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.
um.......CBS admits it was working on this story for 5 or so years. If they thought these documents would put them over the top after 5 years, that means they had NOTHING in 5 years.
Some retrospect.
