Drudge reports that 60 Minutes wanted to report this garbage on election eve!

we should all write letters to the FEC and FCC and have CBS and NY TIMES declared as partisan advertising for the Dems

This looks "so" coordinated.

I am trying to think who shopped this around.

Joe Wilson? Hans Blix?

The decision was part of an agreement between Hewitt and CBS News announced Monday by Andrew Heyward, president of CBS News. In June 2004, Hewitt will relinquish his executive producer post to Jeff Fager, currently the executive producer of 60 Minutes II.

The IAEA chief himself elbaradiot himself, was shopping this story after getting a letter from an Iraqi official.

Karl Rove might have helped that Iraqi official with his letter....

The only accountability leftists ever see a need for is when it concerns a non-leftist.

Yes, let's hope Drudge or someone else has the goods on just WHO was selling this bogus story! And did Joe Lockhart play a role??? He sure is desperately trying to protect a story that is going down in flames (from Kerry's standpoint). Was 60 Minutes truly prepared to broadcast this crap 36 hours before the start of the 2004 Presidential Election???? We've got to find out about that - it would be one more piece of evidence showing the grotesque biases of the MSM (but there's so much evidence already for anyone willing to notice it).

He's been busy alright. Busy building a reputation as a snot-nosed punk.

Well, the IAEA's ElBaradiot was clearly threatening to go ahead with his blockbuster story!

From an AP report

> I love how all these smear jobs on Bush are backfiring!

Which other ones? The only two that come to mind are this and the Rather fiasco. And the Rather one sure didn't backfire enough, there is still a "CBS."
