Mary Mapes was reported as going to Burkett to talk with him as part of this story right? What if on the way back to Abilene she decided to fabricate these memos? She stops at a kinkos, fabricates these things and then sends them on to Dan?

Or, more likely, Mapes picks up copies of the documents from Burkett. Then stops off at Kinko's on her way back to DFW to fax Dan an advance copy of them.

You know, sometimes when people want to make a copy, they run the original through a fax machine. Everytime I've seen that done, the copy is VERY dirty.

Bingo. That sounds very plausible.

She would certainly have given Mr. Rather the Peter Arnett escape route...I don't write it, I just read it. With a good tailwind, this could have wings.
