60 Minutes ran the story the night of September 8. By September 9th the AP was already publishing articles about the DNC's "Operation Fortunate Son" which was the 9 minute version of CBS's story.

How long does the DNC expect us to believe it took to put this together?

It is sooooo clearly obvious that CBS's fraudulent story was a coordinated, integral part of an orchestrated smear campaign against Bush which included both the DNC and the Kerry campaign.

Thanks, I found that myself and came to the same conclusion and it is true that the first reference in the press was 9-09-04 per Google search of "Operation Fortunate Son" sorted by date.

I don't think it was luck, coincidence or quick preparation that this was ready to go One day after the 60Minutes report.
