I have held my fire until it looks like for sure these are forgeries. Folks, it is time to Freep the CBS Evening News, where Dan Rather's office is based....this gets you to the newsroom:

212-975-3691

Number found on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1133594/posts

Ask just what "investigation" went into authenticating the memos and whether they will offer an on-air retraction.

Demand they apologize for this EXTREME lapse of journalistic practice and basic skills.

Also, contact the president of CBS News, Andrew Heyward:

Phone: (212) 975-4321

Fax: (212) 975-1893

At a minimum, CBS must disclose the name of the document examiner (if there was one). That is a small profession and the good ones all know each other.

If you want to be a bit devious, a better tactic may be to pose as a RAT who is furious because you had been talking up this story to Independent voters to try to convert them over to Kerry.

Also tell them that once these voters heard that the story was based on forged documents, they got extremely angry and told you they are sick of all the dirty tricks and are voting for Bush. Now, they won't talk to you at all.

Bump for FReeper info!

I think it'd almost be worth it to fax them this "newly found" document from Manchurian Candidate.
