So you're working on this story for five years with Ms. Mapes, Dan. What was the hurry? Why couldn't you wait a few more months?
Was there some pressing need to air this "news" story? Some outside force, or maybe an important event, that put pressure on you to air it in a hurry? Gosh, whatever could it have been? :-p
Another thing...what were the "other things" they had besides the documents?
.......... more than five years?
