(A spokeswoman for CBS, Kelly Edwards, said she was overwhelmed with phone calls and did not respond to specific requests for comment.)

1972 Email Casts Doubt on Bush Guard Service
(2004-09-09) -- CBS reporter Dan Rather today released the text of a recently discovered email from then-Lt. George W. Bush's Air National Guard commanding officer which casts more doubt upon the military service of the man who would become the 43rd President of the United States.
The revelation of the email comes just hours after questions were raised about the authenticity of typewritten memos from the same officer, shown yesterday by Mr. Rather on 60 Minutes.
According to the previously unseen email message sent in May 1972 by squadron commander Jerry Killian, Lt. Bush phoned Col. Killian because "his internet connection was on the fritz and he couldn't IM me."
Lt. Bush apparently wanted to talk about "how he can get out of coming to drill from now through November."
According to Col. Killian's email, the young Bush wanted to go to Alabama to work as webmaster for a Republican candidate's website.
Mr. Rather said the authenticity of the 32-year-old email has been confirmed by several Nigerian officials who specialize in electronic funds transfer by email.

Yes, CBS should immediately:
1) Provide the name of the expert who authenticated the documents for Sixty Minutes.
(2) Provide the original documents to outside experts--William Flynn, Gerald Reynolds, and Peter Tytell seem to be the consensus top three in the United States--for further analysis.
(3) Provide more information on the source of the documents.
Quick, check the font on the Lehman citation!
VICTIM of a hoax????? More likely, the perpetrator of one.
That's funny!
You da man
What did James Carville know, and when did he know it?
;-)
bttttttttt
There are two Americas. One thinks the Enquirer is real. The rest of us will vote for W.
Carville is taking direction from Hitlery. In fact he is the one behind it so as to assure a W victory.
The use of the word 'hoax' is far too soft.
'Forgery' is the proper term.
4) Force Communist Rather to resign
Hey! Someone should put the CBS logo upside-down, too!
Er...wait...
