How interestin that the NY Times doesn't mention what was in the original Dallas News article, namely that the woman is a Bush-hater.
"Mrs. Knox, 86, who spoke with precise recollection about dates, people and events, said she is not a supporter of Mr. Bush, who she deemed unfit for office and selected, not elected.

So why didn't Rather do a story, that Killian's secretary, who hates Bush claims Killian wrote memos containing derogatory info, but she has no proof? This would have been the correct assertion.
And now, this woman who hates Bush states that the memos are fraudulent, but since she hates Bush, she is trying to help out the Bush bashers, but even with all that, she has to admit the memos are fake.
Ah, Ah - whose got images of the REAL Killian memo - the one which praised Bush? The initials of the Secretary should be on the typed memo, under the initials of the person dictating the memo...
