I believe it was John Kerry himself. The method of his 'gaming' in Unfit for Command was to file fraudlent reports to make himself look good. It's the same old game only this time, the dirty commie was caught red handed.
Altered? Things that match 99.9% accurately with a hasty rewriting in MS Word Circa 2004 are not "altered", they are manufactured out of whole cloth!
The Dems really, really do think we are all stupid sheep. They make me sick.
Excellent theory. Releasing it closer to the election (a la the drunk driving tripe) would have narrowed the time to prove them fake. Of course, it took us less than 12 hours here, so it probably wouldn't have mattered...

And what is the penalty for deliberately forging a document to undermine, defame and discredit the President during a time of war?
Ironic and Awesome.
We're getting our revenge for the Karter/Klintoon years.
It ain't over yet.
I'm thinking the "experts" at CBS were hired to manufacture good fakes. Yes, I am beginning to think CBS was in on the scam, rather than just the duped victim of the scam. Sure they wanted it to be true and that helped. But it's that whole line about having their experts check it out that damns them the most.
the documents are amateurish only in retrospect.
Just damm!

BTTT!
and LOL!
They don't even know how the military operates? </sarcasm off
LOL! A classic.
How large is Rather's staff? Does he take "research" from the DNC or their spin-off fronts?
If he's "fed" the "news" is there an inherent bias to keep his handlers in power?
Is there a conflict of interest when your "news" is from people out power? Is there incentive to slant news to get "your guys" back in?
Does Rather have a dog in this fight?
If the DNC is doing Rather's work for him, what are they getting in return? What's the cost? Does CBS pay with their reputation for Rather's "scoops"?
What is the is the coin of the realm for a one-sided "bribe" in the news field? Is it information?
Some meth junkie needed money fast. Not his best job of forgery but it only has to fool one person.
Dan Rather should resign or be fired !!
CBS news should fire Dan Rather for not being absolutely positively certain of the authenticity of these forged documents. We are in the absolute final leg of a Presidential election and Dan Rather rushed to press to get these dociuments on the air because he thought it would potentially help Kerry and hurt Bush. He is blinded by his partisanship and is not fit to be a journalist.
Dan Rather never even looked into where these papers came from. It was his job to be CERTAIN of their authenticity. It's fitting that Rather's career comes to an end under this cloud of his extremist partisanship. He will always be remembered for this. His legacy will be fitting....a reporter who would lie to America if it supported his Left Wing Ideology.
In the past yeare whenever these phoney stories like the Plame/Wilson mess were released by the main stream mediots, a Yahoo or Google search showed that these lies/stories had been blogged for months.
The NY Slimes released that series of lies re Plame/Wilson.
In this case CBS was the big time releaser.
When I see a new mainline mediot hit on GW, I do a Yahoo search. Often there are thousands of hits from the leftwing blogging sites re the latest smear.
