Retired Maj. General Hodges, Killian's supervisor at the Grd, tells ABC News that he feels CBS misled him about the documents they uncovered. According to Hodges, CBS told him the documents were "handwritten" and after CBS read him excerpts he said, "well if he wrote them that's what he felt."

This is on The Note. That means ALL politicos now know about it.
Kerry's campaign will go into 'ignore' mode tomorrow.
I agree, but only he gets pistol whipped.
"What's the F'N frequency NOW Kenneth!!!!!
Rather's toast along with his buddy Kerry."
I've read 4,000 posts tonight, some with a reference to Kenneth.
Who in the hexx is Kenneth?
Check this one out!
Pleasant dreams!
The PO Box 34567 is legitimate - it shows up on GWB's released guard records DD-44, etc
After listening to Hannitys' radio show today it sounded like they were fishing to mold the story to their liking.

Not a chance. :-) The Swifties are coming out with another round of ads.
Rather was mugged, thought he heard the perp repeat the phrase "What's the frequency, Kenneth?"

Danny Boy's Turning A Crisp Brown BUMP
I've been seeing it raised all day and attributed to a current owner that is some company. Either way, it seems suspicious that they would put a return address at a po box instead of the base.

Recklessly reporting dubious facts from a suspicious source
It's the coverup...
Standing behind the false story and trying to prove that forgeries are bona fide.
...that takes them down every time.
Bite your tongue! That didn't end so well, IMO.
I'm relishing every twist and turn!
"... A senior CBS official, who asked not to be named because CBS managers did not want to go beyond their official statement, named one of the network's sources as retired Maj. Gen. Bobby W. Hodges, the immediate superior of the documents' alleged author, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian. He said a CBS reporter read the documents to Hodges over the phone and Hodges replied that "these are the things that Killian had expressed to me at the time.""These documents represent what Killian not only was putting in memoranda, but was telling other people," the CBS News official said. "Journalistically, we've gone several extra miles."
