"There are rumors here that if there are any real documents, they are hand-written notes from Killian that someone like Burkett was holding, and that instead of using the hand-written notes, someone typed them up to look more official," says the CBS News producer. "They would look better on TV and posted on line if they were typed, but on a number of levels, that story just doesn't hold up. There are too many inconsistencies factually with what is in the memos."

Nice try. Add that to the line about "we aren't going to be getting the originals", and you get one sum: Dan Rather planning retirement.

I just keep reading that one over and over.

Have you EVER???

"we aren't going to be getting the originals"... also means that they know who gave them the original COPIES and it isn't as nebulous as indicated in he initial part of the statement. Also, the article seems to drift to the DNC. If O were a betting man, the COPIES came from the DNC, CBS and RATHER KNOW they were HOSED; they will not divulge their source BUT THEY WILL ATTACK THE SOURCE REAL HARD... at least the individual. GUARANTEED: They will not attack the DNC as they should as they are afraid of the DNC and have too much invested in (or too many investors in CBS) to turn on the Limousine Liberals.

Wish I were a fly on the wall or could just watch who goes in and out of CBS next week. At least as far as who the "runners" represent.

Dan went with the 'buzz cut' to boost ratings, all he has to do is grow a mustache and all this will blow over. Right?

Keep shooting yourself in the foot, Danny.

This is reminding me of the O.J. Simpson trial. What CBS may have been doing was "securing the evidence" in the way some believe the infamous "glove" was planted because the cops just "knew" he was guilty, CBS just faked the memos because they just "know" but can't prove it.

This is pretty much an admission that CBS knows the memos are phoney.

Yeah, nice try. There is a little matter about the signatures. If they were transcribed at some later date to "look more official", then the signature was forged!

I've always found it amazing that through two gubernatorial campaigns...and now a second presidential campaign, that only now do memo's appear that "CBS has been looking for," for over 3 years. Memos, that just happen to answer the exact questions CBS (and the media) has been asking. And now we have admissions that they don't even know who the source is for the documents. They know damn well it's the DNC and Kerry...and are now involved in a massive cover-up.
