Is there a freeper out there who routinely handles document production and impeachment in a court of law? I'm a lawyer and have had some experience with it but I don't have much experience with jury trials and none with criminal procedure so don't know whether these memos could be admitted. Clearly, they're hearsay first of all but might be admissable under the business records exception but the best evidence rule would require an original, especially where the possibility of forgery exists. If it can be established that these are forgeries, then someone has committed fraud. Fraud seems to be to trump the journalistic ethic against revealing sources.

Go read Page 6 (linked through Drudge).
Seems Les Moonves made a rare appearance at CBS on Friday. They are poo-poohing it, but this would be consistent with the time the forgeries story broke wide open. Dan's voice was hoarse from having to defend his sorry decision, is my opinion.

What amazes me is that it is CBS's responsibility to prove it's case.


The debate MUST switch to CBS's proving its contention is accurate OR it becomes a just a matter of interpretation.

But since they are making the charge, it is CBS's duty to either prove it's case or withdraw the charge.

When will the media and the RNC make this point?

The entire debate hangs on this distinction.

I've sent the emails to Redstone and Moonves, and a follow-up to my earlier email to the FCC.

We should make these people understand that this criminal scandal won't die.

I think an investigation is in order with regards to Dan Rather's daughter, Robin. She and Barnes are high ranking members of the DNC.

Perhaps it's there and I missed it, but one more that I found especially convincing - typewriters don't keep a tight baseline. Some of the characters will tend to be a bit high, and some a bit low.

Clinotoon lied, Kerry lied, Blather lied and the whole world knows it!

NEXT CASE!

I already emailed Les Moonves. I'm eagerly awaiting a reply.

Big props to Hugh and all the others in the new media who are giving public voice to the truth!!!

BTW- If anyone does not have Hugh's book, "If It's Not Close They Can't Cheat", buy it immediately....it is an absolute must in any thinking person's library, and a crucial read before the election is upon us.
If you do have it, buy another copy and pass it along to someone "on the edge" who needs to have their eyes opened.
If you have read it, act on his action ideas, especially the one about supporting good conservative media resources with your subscription dollars. If we don't support them, they will vanish!

Depends (a joke in itself) on what kind of pajamas.

Does a silk wrap qualify?

Thanks, RonDog!

And another thing....all you right-wingers who think Bush is not conservative enough: You need to read Hugh's chapter on majority and share it with other uber-conservatives who may be tempted to sit out this election.
The only way you have a prayer of getting your issues addressed is to help create a majority. Any other action/non-action is self-defeating at best; political suicide at worst.

After seeing the PDF form of the memos, I noticed two items not in this list:

1) According to family members, Killian was a poor typist. Why aren't there typing errors in the documents, especially those that are "memos to file"?

2) I would expect some spelling errors in the documents. I didn't notice any. Why wouldn't there be some, especially again in the "memos to file"? It appears as though a spell checker was used on these documents.

"*Lt Col Killian didn't type;"
