Lokisfur asks: How come there is no federal criminal investigation into the CBS memos?
We now have forged US military records that

Because the courts and legal system has been utterly corrupted and infested by democrat vermin shysters.
IMO an investigation would give the dims a chance to act like victims, (they are the world's second best victims, after the Palestinians).
Let sleeping dogs lie. There is no need to stop the CBS bleeding by offering them something to counter with. There will be plenty of time for that.
Don't you realize that Dims are NEVER called to account for their actions.
Why no investigation of See-BS? Because the rest of the Mainstream Media would be shocked, SHOCKED, and immediately go into all-out propaganda mode against this administration, to a degree not seen since the efforts against Adolf Hitler after the Nazi-Soviet alliance dissolved in about June 1941, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union.
Can we hope for one after the election?
Several reasons, but they all basically boil down to the same thing: when your enemy is busy shooting themselves in the foot, don't get in the way.
if a formal investigation were mounted by any organ of government, particularly one identifiable with the Bush administration like "John Ashcroft's Justice Department," then that "threat to the first amendment" would become the focus, not the forged documents and conspiracy between the media and the Kerry campaign.
They think they can lie their way out of this the way they did throughout the Clinton years. They still don't understand the new reality created since then. The "blogosphere" has come into it's own, but this isn't where it started. The birth of the new world was truly the Sore Loserman campaign during the attempted coup by judicial fiat. That took the ideas being discussed on FreeRepublic and put it on the street outside of the Vice Presidential mansion. Chants of "get out of Cheney's house" introduced the MSM to the new force in the world, and it was us.
They also had one huge advantage in the Clinton years: Bill Clinton. He was a charming rogue. The picture that came to mind for most people was something closer to Han Solo than Caligula. You knew he was lying, but most folks just didn't want to believe that he was capable of the things that he was lying about, so they let him slide. By the time it became clear that he really was Caligula too many people would have had to admit that they were idiots and had been fooled, so they let him slide again.
John Kerry is the furthest thing possible from a charming rogue. He's an arrogant prick. Bill Clinton will forever be known for "I feel your pain." John Kerry will be known for "Don't you know who I am?" There's a Yiddish word for JF'nK: Putz. It fits.
Yes. Wisdom is more difficult than passion, but for those seeking long term gains, it is much more effective, productive and satisfying.

NEW TONE.
I hate the new tone.
Let's see how the CBS internal investigation goes first. It should be very entertaining.
This is close in-fighting. Flesh against flesh. Fighting in the clinch. You can't pull back to throw a punch -- to do so exposes you, and the opponent is quicker.
Why the automatic presumption there is not a federal investigation? Rarely is there an announcement of any investigations currently underway.
If you follow the federal government, you will notice there is usually an announcement of an investigation after about 6 months. The preceeding months have been spent in gathering evidence.
I suspect that is the case now. Evidence is being gathered and we should be hearing about an ongoing investigation sometime in April 2005.
