"What I was finding was a lot of red flags," Emily Will told The Washington Post last night.

Now it's way past time for Blather's WHITE FLAG!

You gotta love it when the MSM start eating their own. This saga has now assumed a life of it's own. How long can CBS maintain the fiction that their documents are real?

CBS began to doubt Will because she started expanding her role and doing Google searches about Bush's whereabouts at the time, said an executive who insisted on anonymity because the network did not want to go beyond the official statements. But Will said she was merely doing research into whether superscript existed in 1972.

Even if she was doing google searches about Bush, so what. Why wouldn't CBS want their "facts" to be double-checked?

Distraction Alert;

WP is trying to create the impression about the use of these forged documents by 60 minutes but has fallen short in their investigation about how these forged documents came into Rather's hand? My investigation shows that Dan Rather's daughter, Robin, played a crucial roll in getting them to her dad but doesn't show she actually made them. My question about Robin's roll is did she know these docs were forged, make promises to someone for these docs, use her own dad?

Until the originals are produced and subjected to microscopic testing, lab testing for rag content, ink components and paper size measured the experts are only looking at superficial evidence. Ink jet and laser printers float the ink on top of the paper, so that should be easy to prove or disprove with a microscope. A typewriter embeds the ink when the key is struck on the paper leaving a slight indentation on the paper. Both the rag content and the ink composition have changed in 30 years I would suspect. And I would suspect that printer ink is different that the ink used in typerwriter ribbons. Paper size sure has. 8.5 x 10.5 then to 8.5x 11 today.

Definitive proof can not be had until lab tests are done.

Why has no one brought out the fact that these types of test should be run and would be run in a court of law. But it all hinges on obtaining the originals. See if you can get some forensic crime experts to chime in.

No prosecutor worth his salt would accept such flimsy evidence in a forgery case as CBS and Dan Rather have presented. It's like asking the defense to accept a photo of a gun that was used in a murder, and saying that is my evidence and I just KNOW it's real.
