Killians son told Sean Hannity that Knox was not his father's personal secretary, as has been previously reported. She was typing documents for a lot of people besides Killian.
Killian also said that she wouldn't have been privy to hearing the things she claims to have heard.
She sure doesn't like Bush, but I also think that this is her "15 minutes" of fame. Rather is playing the old bag like a fine violin trying to drum up some sympathy for himself and to validate his piece of garbage story.
Another interesting development are the two document experts that CBS consulted who told CBS they were definitly fishy, to say the least. One of these two requested additional documents to make comparisons, which CBS told her they had and would send to her. She never got the additional documents they were supposed to have sent her.
To me, this clearly shows that when this woman didn't tell them what they wanted to hear, they no longer had any use for her.
This is a huge credibility issue for them to have been ignorning not only key witnesses, but document experts who were telling them that this whole thing was a sham.
An investigation by Congress is not out of the question. That beginnings of that may have been put in motion today, with 39 officals signatures on the letter asking CBS to retract the story and provide their source of the forgeries, topped of with accusations of CBS attempting to influence a Federal Election.
Democrats of course, cried foul.
Well, for once I agree with them. This is about the foulest thing I've ever seen.
Knox: "Yes."
Rather: "How could that be?
Knox: "Hmmm, someone must have seen what I typed and duplicated it later."
What utter, shameful C-BS. Of course, instead of examining her like a decent reporter would on her blanket assertion that everything in the memos was true, Dan Rather glossed over the two biggest factual discrepencies that she pointed out:
1. General Stoudt had retired 18 months earlier and he was not a factor on base anymore. (Say goodbye to the whole "suger-coating" memo).
2. She specifically says that flight physicals would take place near the airman's birthday--not two months early.(Say goodbye to the flight physical direct-order memo, especially since a "direct order" wouldn't go out in this non-official memo form).
Now, am I missing something? What else does CBS have without these two smoking guns, even if the other two memos really are "accurate" retyped forgeries of Killian's CYA file?
I just hope that CBS quickly admits that all four memos are more recent than 1972, and therefore have fake signatures as well as several other incorrect details. This might allow this distraction to cool down. I think that we've gotten maximum advantage of it by now. CBS blinked. They brought on a woman that confused the situation but she also said she typed all of Killian's work on either an Olympia manual or a plain-old non-proportional Selectric. They let her tell the world that she was there and these documents that CBS relied on are fake.
