Here's the bombshell: it was CBS that broadcast the original Nixonian "White House memo" that was supposed to detail each step of the Ellsberg burglary (he was the leaker of the Pentagon Papers, what "Watergate" was all about in the first place). That memo, on White House letterhead, told the Plumbers everything from when to hit the shrink's office to which filing cabinet to search.

Now lets just pause for a moment and ask ourselves, Who among us today (knowing what we now know about CBS broadcasting forged Bush National Guard memos) would believe that President Nixon told his secretary to type up, on official White House letterhead, a memo detailing how his Plumbers should burglarize that office to obtain Ellsberg's psychiatrist's records?!

Today, after CBS has been busted with forged Bush National Guard memos, that old "White House memo" purportedly from Nixon himself just doesn't pass the smell test.

Who was the star reporter for CBS covering that White House scandal at the time? Dan Rather.

CBS, did you forge Watergate, too?

Boy, my brain cells are getting a workout this morning! I am having enouh rouble recalling all the facts of the Berger file-stealing incident, and now you are reminding me of the Pentagon papers!

We're told in the Bible that someday all our sins will be made public. Oh, but if we couldn't see all of Dan's--and Hillary's--and Bill's--and the whole DNC's NOW!

Ya know ... considering Dan's history on reporting .. I wouldn't rule that out .. anything is possible with Dan The News Man

It would seem likely that a careful analysis of the practices of CBS would reveal a lot of irregularities. Just think...if the Internet had existed in the 1960s and Freepers had been able to checkmate CBS then, we probably would have won the Vietnam War. "Where were you during Vietnam, Dan???"

Too bad those memos would not be in Times New Roman.

Very good point and question! LOL

[kidd]

I think your idea is quite plausible.

The only reason, that I can think of, that the Rather team would pass off such a poor quality forgery, is because they've gotten away with it in the past. Perhaps they haven't done it since word processors became common and they just got lazy.

I think you've nailed a specific example. I'll bet there are other forgeries as well, but I can't think of specifics.

Nice work.

Nobody. But the rat John Dean, that's another story.
Being Nixon's WH Legal Council he had access to the stationary (naturally) and he orchestrated the Watergate burglary anyway to cover-up that his then GF "MO" was a hooker. (that's how I recall Liddy telling it)

[bandleader]

I think you've got something here!Nixon was anything but a stupid man.He would NEVER create a "smoking gun"like a White House memo detailing criminal behavior and then sign it!!!!

Holy cow. No wonder CommunistBullSh*t didn't fire Rather.

[WildTurkey]

Maybe that was what Rather was thinking when he alluded that even if the documents were fake, the story was true.
