According to Linda Mason, a CBS News executive who served as a liaison between the network and the independent panel, an attorney from the law firm called her on Wednesday and asked that the digital restrictions be made - including the prevention of copying and pasting. The fear, it seems, was that an enterprising ne'er-do-well could copy the text into a new document and begin circulating a faked version of the report.

Ahhh... don't you just love irony?

Hey, then we could say it is 'fake - but real', and call on Dirty Dan to answer the 'serious charges' these documents allege.

B.S. Bloggers would want to know where in the 250 pages an excerpt came from and would check the document.

An odd quote could also be word searched for the context.

CBS is lying again and attacking their critics.

It matters not whether the document is fake, the story is true.
