The more I think about it, the more I would be looking for some connection to that old woman. She may not have a clue about the forgeries, but that does not mean she was not the source of the storyline...even inadvertently.
Killian's secretary would know what memos should look like. She would not have made some of the mistakes that were made here.
If you read Charleston1's posting the other day(see the link on post 18), the interesting thing he pointed out is that when you compare the USA documents to the CBS documents, is the CBS ones are ammended by certain passages being underlined in pen, that aren't on the USA documents, meaning that someone(dnc? cbs?) has tampered with them to give certain sentences emphasis, or, that CBS received their documents after USA received theirs.
That was completely unnecessary and hateful.
That is in line with what I've thought, too - albeit IMO CBS may have gotten theirs' first & USA Today later. If USA Today already had theirs' then it might indicate they knew they'd get burned and simply put them up with their other stories when they did. In any event, I always assumed USA Today got them independent of CBS and - until now - thought CBS may have only gotten 4 of the 6 docs while USA Today got the whole bundle. What poster here has revealed, however, is that CBS got the other two as well but never disclosed that fact nor did they let the fact they knew - for certain, they've inadvertently indicted themselves, again - because they didn't put forth those two while revealing the other four as if they were legit (knowing some if not all were totally suspect)
I explained in later posts that I do not mean to suggest she put these memos out. I don't think she knew anything about the forgeries, but I do think she originated some of the stories and someone else took it from there. JMO
Looks like you've been vindicated!!
It's like everything else. If you didn't see it happen or get it from someone you KNOW you can trust, take it all with a grain of salt. Damn, I hate liars. It doesn't do much for our faith in human nature when we see the extremes people will go to just to push their agenda. Common cheap trash.
Looked like breaking news to me. But then, what do I know. I just glad I found the post. It was a darn nice read.
But that's my point. If looking at the same document and CBS's has a few sentences underlined and USA's doesn't, it means CBS either received theirs later or else underlined in ink themselves.
I agree with you.
The way things are going with all the sites that do not want FR to post even excerpts of their stories, this will indeed become what we consider breaking news - FReeper summaries of stories.
As this summary goes, that FReeper did a good job.
I agree, to a point . . .
I think "vanities" can sometimes be very usefull, but it would be great if they were somehow flagged. I personally read the latest posts page (mostly to see what is "hot"). It is almost impossible to know beforehand whether a post is "linked" information or a vanity.
Maybe a heading in the title??
VANITY: Evidence that CBS News 60 Minutes II is guilty of malice and intent to defraud
just my two cents . . .
BTW - I think the poster has down so good work on this and is apparently new - I too vote for the "cut some slack".
Okay,
I can't figure out the html tags for a bitmap. I put the first image on my website: www.challengerdisaster.info. Can anyone private e-mail on how to get the pics here instead?
Good! Thanks. :)
I concur & why it was also feasible that CBS didn't get two documents that USA Today did - but now we know they got at least one of those extra two that USA Today did, too :)
No Problem

I'm rather impressed with how "hard" ABCNews has been on this CBS snafu.
I recently checked the cretae and modification dates of the PDF's at CBS and USA Today.
CBS's documents were created 8/9/2004 at around 9:00 PM
USA Today's were created on 9/9/2004 at around 1:00 PM and were MODIFIED on 9/11/2004.
Also of note is that the CBS Documents have a page size of 13 x 18 (approximate as the vary slightly) and the USA todays have a size of 8.31 x 10.33)
