They regret the memos were bad forgeries. Next time they'll be better forgeries and will be harder to debunk.
Forget the memos, next time just find some people who are willing to lie about what they saw, heard and know. Then you don't have pesky people questioning how memos were created with Microsoft Word in 1972. Trouble is, CBS will find people to source who are 32 years old.
"Next time they'll be better forgeries and will be harder to debunk."
Not only that, this piece is careful to indlude ALL the allegations made about Bush's NG service in the NOW ADMITTED FORGED DOCUMENTS!!

Good point!
If they had been more careful, the slime would have stuck!
SOMETHING TO REMEMBER!
Where and with whom did the documents originate? Inquiring minds want to know - - but apparently CBS News isn't interested. (so much for its journalistic instincts)
CBS is not claiming they are forgeries, they are merely claiming to have been misled as to who the orginal source was. In their hearts, they still want to believe that these memos are real. Either that, or they deliberately misled the public and are trying to cover up their tracks, which I think is the more plausible scenario. Even their own experts were warning them before airtime and they chose to ignore those warnings. That leads me to believe CBS, or at least Dan Rather, was more interested in smearing President Bush than in reporting the truth.
