A criminal investigation is needed to determine the source of the documents, as well as their validity or forgery. Dan Rather can take his documents and as tereza says shove it..
This is a real embarrasment to the media in the United States from CBS to all the followers who jumped on the story and tried to manipulate it. The old media is in its final death throes...what did it take, less than an hour for the documents to come under serious doubt last night?
I want to know who supplied the documents and who the supposed document examiner was that CBS suppoesedly had examine them
"Killian died in 1984. 60 Minutes consulted a handwriting analyst and document expert who believes the material is authentic."

That was one of the big arguements concerning the "new media" - that they didn't have the resources to vet information properly. It looks like CBS doesn't have the resources either. :-)
