Best dissection of the report yet.
To: RWR8189
Thornburgh and Boccardi sum up: "The Panel cannot conclude that a political agenda at 60 Minutes Wednesday drove either the timing of the airing of the Segment or its content." Oh Gee .. could it be because by doing so would implement CBS in a crime????
Forging Military Documents is a FEDERAL CRIME!
And THAT is the REAL cover up in this whole report!

Dan Rather has made his place in history. He will forever be remembered as the anchor who broke the MSM camel's back, and not as the outer but as the outee. Too bad. He was such a good man. Courage.

Forging military documents is a Federal Crime ... and that ladies and gentlemen is the REAL cover up
The bias to change the out come of a Presidential Election is a different issue

Is it true that he was AG during President Bush's father's administration?

After his unanimous confirmation by the United States Senate, Thornburgh served three years as Attorney General of the United States (1988-1991) in the cabinets of Presidents Reagan and Bush.

Where, for instance, did the documents come from? Check Hackworth's hard drive.

Excellent analysis. They really pick the report to pieces.
There's just one flaw in this article, and it's a big one. Johnathan Last asks WHY the authors of the report failed to hit CBS on the two issues of political corruption forgery. The answer to that question is clear: Because that was their job. It was what they were paid to do.
Last says right near the beginning, in passing: "Compiled by independent investigators Dick Thornburgh and Louis D. Boccardi." Sorry, they are NOT independent investigators. They were paid by CBS and they were heading a team of LAWYERS paid for by CBS. In other words, they had an OBLIGATION NOT TO FIND ANYTHING DAMAGING TO THEIR CLIENT.
"Independent Investigators," my Aunt Tillie.
CBS bought and paid for the investigation and received satisfaction for their money.
