Does anyone really believe that CBS is going to admit making a mistake on this story?
Well, don't hold your breath. Remember, CBS News thinks it knows what's best for us. Ergo, it could not be incorrect...about anything.

That interview with a former staff person who knew him along with his son and the document expert really blow Rather and 60 Minutes right out of the water.
I see the WH has finally got a backbone and is now saying they don't know whether the docs are real or not.
Slowly but surely the truth boils within the tightly sealed pressure cooker (MSM), after a while a little steam escapes from a breach in the seal, the pressure continues to increase as America turns up the heat, and then another breach allows more steam out until.......
"The Defense Department released Bush's pilot logs this week under pressure from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by The Associated Press.
They still get a zinger in there. You're not going to get something for nothing from AP.
Isn't this charge about the missed physical in doubt as well?

So who is going to check with the Defense Department where the supposed release came from? Check to see who is the person at Defense that released them, if anyone.
"I see the WH has finally got a backbone..."
Slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwly they turned, step by step, inch by inch.......
Now if we can just get them to change their titles so it doesn't read as if Bush was involved in making the forged documents
Maybe they are forgeries, too.
The AP got the docs from a previous cull under the FOIA. The DoD just recently found these additional docs and released them to the AP.
The DoD didn't stonewall the original release.
What's this about Bush skipping a medical examination in May 1972? Is there any basis for that date beyond the forged document dated 04 May 1972? I thought that normally the physicals were scheduled for the month of the person's birthday (in Bush's case that would be July).
The docs the DoD gave Ap are genuine. They are not the same docs that CBS has.
There is no contention that the AP docs are forged, only that all the docs were not delivered at the same time, hence the 'lie' by AP that they had to arm twist to get them.
The release of the docs was approved by Bush when he signed his form 180.
