I'm surprised they are answering the phone at all.
Why would ANYONE accept a photocopy of a signature? What kind of fools does Rather think we are? Who couldn't photocopy a signature?
It's admissisble, but if there is a question about the authenticity of the signature, it's subject to attack, and the genuineness is to be determined by the jury. Any expert will tell you that you can't give a very good handwriting opinion from a photocopy. What I find significant is that Rather says he only has a photocopy, but makes no effort to explain what happened to the originals.
Off topic but now on Drudge:
A federal prosecutor is investigating whether two NEW YORK TIMES reporters were leaked information about a terror financing investigation that may have tipped off the targets of the probe... DEVELOPING
yes that's the guy.
Excellent. The mainstream press cannot let Dan Rather ruin what is left of their credibility.
That's what Juan Williams on Fox just said.
I guess that means that I can write any charge I want on a 3M Post-it and date it 1973, even stick it to a document from 1973, and they have to take the charge seriously?
Exactly!
FYI - It adds credibility if you use copies instead of original documents, and make sure family & associates don't think the document is real.
I'm way behind on this thread but this is exactly what the media have done with the Swift Boat Vet's claims. If they have 50 claims the media tries to blow up all of them by shedding doubt on a couple of details. This is how they work.
All along I have believed the whole point of Rather's lies is to push the topic into the national debate, but I never thought even he would stoop this low.
Here's the CNN story
I called and very politely asked why none of the other evidence was presented, including info from the Col's own son and wife. Basically, they hung up on me. It was obvious that they were receiving a lot of calls.
Try google. Ask, "What's the frequency, Kenneth"?
FAX Andrew Heyward, the President of CBS News at:
Andrew Heyward -- CBS News
Title: President
Department: Headquarters
Phone: (212) 975-4321
Fax: (212) 975-1893
Address: 524 W 57th St, New York, NY 10019
Ask him how long he is going to allow Dan Rather to dig CBS News into the hole of irrelevancy.
Killian's son on Hannity that a woman from CBS called him and his mother "about 2 weeks ago" and asked to veriify the documents. Both he and his mother (without looking at them) said it was unlikely to be legit since Killian liked GW. Killian's son gave the woman two names of higher ups who flew with Bush. But he said she spoke too one of them and said she felt one of them was a Republican.
More on this tonight on Hannity's show.
This shows the complete arrogance of this man, and the company he works for. It will not leak out, but I bet Clinton and him had a conversation today. If he thinks this is the end of this, he is genuinely certifiable.
Perhaps he doesn't realize that the people who would have done that left when CBS canceled Doctor Quinn and Murder, She Wrote.

You're doing good work! This is historic.
Dan Savage on the radio now. The hits just keep coming.
The timing (end of the week) is suspicious.
