With all due respect and with no malisciousness, I think you are being snookered by Dan Rather.
Rather had this information for months , no way a man with his experience could not have known it was phony. IMO
Rather is complicit in a plot to destroy the President, he is no longer reporting news he is involved in Partisan politics. Which is fine for as long as you admit it, but when you report news as a neautral . and get paid by a news organisation to slant the news it isnt ethical.
Ping for later

He had the forgeries for all of five days. The claim that Bush had not fulfilled his Guard obligations had been around for four or five years, but rumors don't count as "information." Otherwise, Rather would have run the same phony story in 2000, and now we would be deciding between re-electing Pres. Gore, or voting for his challeneger, Rudy Giuliani.
