Er, Aiding in abetting is NOT the crime it once was before Kerry and Fonda.

[John Jorsett]

Matley says the signatures were MADE BY THE SAME PERSON. He does NOT say that person was Killian.

I think that may be what the document experts always say. When you get down to it, they aren't the ones with the chain of custody that establishes that one of the signatures comes from the person it's supposedly from. If they say, "same person," then somebody else can handle the issue of whether that person is Killian.

[Izzy Dunne]

I think that may be what the document experts always say.

Sure - I understand that.
Which is why you should provide them with a signature known to be that of Killian. I've seen no evidence that they did that.

"Col KIllian's son, who served with him, just said on Hannity and Colmes that Ms Knox was a pool typist who would in no way have been privy to such information."

Dangerous statement - if his dad used a mixed pool of typists, why would he remember one of them after 30 years ?

[Oztrich Boy]

Five years....and they NEVER talked to Marian Knox until TODAY?????

Dog years. They mean since January, when they decided to run the Silver Star Hero on his War record.

[Miss Marple]

She has a vast and detailed knowledge of the issues surrounding President Bush’s service in the Guard.

This does not sound like a well-informed producer (who also has to work on other things). This sounds like a full-blown Bush-hater obsessed with bringing him down.

I would like to know what she was doing during the Florida re-count. I bet she went ballistic when Bush was finally declared the winner.

[RS]

""....show us the proof."

They have the proof... it's in the memo silly ...

[Willie Green]

The editorial content of the report was not based solely on the physical documents, but also on numerous credible sources who supported what the documents said.

Forgery doesn't matter when you have useful idiots who are willing to perjure themselves.

[Cboldt]

- Bump - & ^PINGALING

So, CBS is still asserting that the documents may be authentic, and have been "certified" to be authentic by named experts. Their affiliates are getting heat. A Houston radio station owner has pulled CBS news off his programming, and says he will rescind his contract with CBS if they don't fire Dan Rather by Monday, and come clean with the charade.

[Sthitch]

If there were six documents from the same source at the same time and two of these documents were deemed untrustworthy, would that not cast a dim light on the rest of the documents?

[Chong]

"In the interview, Ms. Knox states that she does not believe the memos are genuine. However, she confirms that the content of the memos does reflect the feelings of Lt. Col. Killian at the time and accurately portrays events that were taking place in connection with then-Lt. Bush’s Texas Air National Guard service."

Oh my...... I don't have any facts to back it up, but this is how I feel. Good Grief! Is this the "evidence?" How she feels? God help us all.

It's low even for the Rats to use a man who's passed away and who cannot debunk their "feelings." DAN RATS, go straight to......(fill in the blanks that rhymes with) well......

[Paladin2]

It doesn't sound like SeeBS is admitting that the documents are fake to me.

"Katz believes the documents were written on a typewriter and not a computer. (attachment 3)"

[Chong]

What rhymes with well?

Bell, Cell, Dell, Fell...........

[crazycat]

Dan's only doing what he has allways done, aiding and abetting the communists.

The Gulag would be so happy to see this vile creature, get his just deserts.

[Maigrey]

Uhh. Maybe I'm missing something. If they are fake, how can they be accurate?

[Zellenn]

Good work! You just knocked off each of the four legs the C-BS "stool" of documents was built upon. Now, the only thing propping it up is Dan Rather's ego!

[Paladin2]

"BULL PUCKEY"

Is that who is in the running to replace DR?

[Pietro]

The affliates are the proper point of attack.

Their cash flow is particularly sensitive.

Jamming local sponsors will garner attention.

Our goal should be the destruction of CBS news.

FR impeached bj.

WE can drive cbs to dust.

[ErnBatavia]

Probably, because Bull Durham's probably frowned upon in elitist New York.

[Paladin2]

Small pool & good memory?
