Address the fact that General Staudt retired in '72 a year before the letter was written in '73.

By the way folks, did anyone notice on the news last night that General Staudt's nickname is "Buck".

A little odd that the famous post # 47 that firstly exposed this document farce by CBS the other day on FR was written by "Buckhead". Quite a coincidence.

Hmmmmmmmm, who is the famous "Buckhead"?

[Sunshine55]

You're incredible!

[MamaLucci]

Well, you're on to me. Yes.............I'm Susan Lucci. /sarcasm

LOL :)

In another challenge to CBS, Killian's boss, retired Maj. Gen. Bobby W. Hodges, told ABC News that he regards the documents as a computer "fraud," never saw them in the 1970s and didn't validate them for CBS.

Well that pretty much sums it up Rather, you clymer.

I want to see Dan Ra^ther frog-marched out of BlackRock in handcuffs.

By damn, these accusations have gotten my pajamas in a knot, and I ain't goen take it anymore.

The whole problem with this will be the Sandy Berger Effect. The SBE means that a damning story erupts and simply gets ignored. That's what will happen here. It will be denied and soon ignored. Independent voters won't have a clue what went on, and all Rather has to say is that the challenges to his credibility are "partisan internet and talk radio" people, and the independent voter will understand that this is nothing.
So we must figure a way at FR not just to uncover this kind of thing, but to also carry it through to completion.

In addition, Killian's son has said that his father shared an office with another officer and one secretary, who had a manual typewriter, not even an electric typewriter, let alone a Selectric. That was the only typewriter in the office and Killian had no typewriter at home.

Did anybody listen to how Rathers voice sounded, Like he had been screaming all day

[sirchtruth]

The only question I have is could the "copying" of the memos being blown up in any way cause an offset on the line up?

[gipper81]

Any journalists or historians out there?

Has there been anything similar to this over the past 100 years?

[syriacus]

LOL!

You are just a partisan political operative.

Isnt there an "F" in John Kerrys initials? Coincidence?

Thanks for your great work. The animation is so impressive. Just fantastic!

Not really. Watch the way ABC is on the case. ABC broke the news about Hodges saying CBS report was a fraud. The other networks are going to burn CBS. Isn't competition grand?

[BC girl]

I don't think the rule of Sandypants applies here. The other networks and news agencies are in competition with each other more than they are biased against Bush. I think this might get more coverage than we think simply because they would rather smear their broadcast competitors more than they want to smear Bush. Or at least I'm hoping that's the case. The sad thing is that journalistic ethics won't be the motivating factor for this story, competition and ratings will.
