"but that they didn't use them because they realized that the documents were probably fake."

So, in basing Operation Fortunate Son in part on the release of the memos, we know conclusively one of two things:

1. Tony Coelho is lying, and the Kerry campaign, believing the memos to be true, was coordinating the attack with CBS based on these memos. Very scummy.

2. Tony Coelho is telling the truth, and the Kerry campaign, realizing the memos were likely fakes, was coordinating the attack with CBS based on these memos. Scummy ultra.

Coelho was referring to 2000. He is not now part of the DNC and doesnt have any first hand involvement. He said that Burkett came to them with information in 2000 but they didnt think much of the information or Burkett, so they didnt use it. Amazed that Rather would get duped by the guy.
