CBS said Burkett, a retired National Guard lieutenant colonel, had provided the documents. In a press release accompanying Heyward's statement, CBS said that Burkett "also admits that he deliberately misled the CBS News producer working on the report, giving her a false account of the documents' origins to protect a promise of confidentiality to the actual source."

Very interesting, given CBS's claim of an unimpeachable source. We're supposed to believe that Burkett said he got them from some other guard person and that that was the unimpeachable source? They're going to have to run this through the laundry a few more times. It still smells to high heaven.
