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.

EXACTLY. As a friend of mine said on another board, if Fox News had done it to Kerry, the lunatic left-wing fringe would be screaming bloody murder.
A lot of people are saying that they don't really care about what happened 30+ years ago. But look at what happened this month. Someone has used crude forged documents to convince one of the biggest news organizations in the world -- the network of Edwin R. Murrow -- to smear a sitting president during a war, with a presidential election less than two months away.
