HODGES SAID HE WAS MISLED BY CBS
Noted Now - ABC News The Note ^ | 09/11/04 | ABC News The Note

Posted on 09/10/2004 7:42:49 PM PDT by Ed Zoekuiper

Retired Maj. General Hodges, Killian's supervisor at the Grd, tells ABC News that he feels CBS misled him about the documents they uncovered. According to Hodges, CBS told him the documents were "handwritten" and after CBS read him excerpts he said, "well if he wrote them that's what he felt."

Another nail in the coffin....

The time for CBS to come clean was immediately upon realizing that they had likely been duped by a hoaxer. It would have meant egg on their faces for awhile, but the embarrassment would have eventually blown over and CBS may have even received grudging acknowledgment for at least admitting to and correcting their mistake professionally and quickly.

Instead, CBS has decided to circle the (flaming) wagon. At this point, the hoax can never be just an embarrassment - - the only conclusion now is full-blown scandal. It is simply unfathomable to me that CBS would commit suicide like this. No matter what they do next, it is already too late.

For CBS, the window of opportunity has closed.

This could be decisive. Hodges was supposed to be Rather's ace in the hole.

Bye, Dan.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Oh man that one should be the last straw. EVERY living "witness" now disputes the "memos".

Me thinks Dan Blather is a very short timer at CBS ... even if he isn't his credibility will be in the tank which means the same thing.

It just doesn't stop unraveling does it? I'm as amazed as you that someone new jumps off the CBS bandwagon every day.

Just wait until a young producer with CBS lets that last vestige of a conscience creep up on them and confesses how little verification was done and that their source was a "partisan political figure."

Another shocking revelation!!! I can't believe how this has fallen apart!!! Next, Barnes will recant? I bet there is a ton of dirt on him somewhere, please someone find it. I didn't know this either, Fox interviewed an officer who served with Bush. Apparently, nobody needed special favors to get into the Pilot program with the Guard in Texas. If you had the brains, physical conditioning, etc., they let you in. The waiting list was for non-coms. Then, Killian's son says Bush came to his father twice to volunteer for Palace Alert which would have sent him to Vietnam. So, if I were the WH, let all the Rats go at it, they coming apart at the seams. I guess if I were Bush or Cheney I might say something like:

"Look how they(DNC/MSM) have messed this Guard issue up! And you trust these people to run a war???!!
