HODGES SAID HE WAS MISLED BY CBS
Noted Now - ABC News The Note ^ | 09/11/04 | ABC News The Note

Posted on 09/10/2004 7:42:49 PM PDT by Ed Zoekuiper

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."

You can't post from your own hard drive without a very special setup, which I'm betting you don't have.

Yes, but that PO Box number was not a formal military address. It was an address of the unit. Is this where the unit received informal mail?

Hackworth again??

Hackworth would not likely have made such crude errors in forgery indicating a complete lack of knowledge of military correspondence style.

Mary Mapes' name is increasingly being brought up as the most likely culprit, and no one from CBS has come to her defence or even issued any denials.

She's going to be thrown under the bus in Dan Rather's place.

I learned to really hate Dan Rather, one night about a month ago. When I paused on cbs to smell the wind from there, I heard Rather saying that the killing and burning of homes of the villagers in the Darfur region of Sudan, was just another casualty of our diverting attention away from the rest of the world by the war in Iraq...."
(cannot tell you how angry that made me, since I know darn well it is the UN, and the rest of the world, that is not paying attention to the plight of the natives of Darfur, like can they not do anything at all --- on their own, goodwill? stupid question, huh....)

My sources are independently verified and not available to be interviewed --- just kidding. Found it with a google search. Others have since posted that the 34567 PO shows up on some other legitimate Guard documents but on them it is attributed to a different unit. It would not be uncommon for units to share a box but is also not uncommon for a Rat forger not to do his homework (like learning to abreviate your own rank correctly after 20 years of service.)

about as convincing as a $200 bill with George Bush's face on it

My analogy is $25 bill with Wm Jennings Bryan or Harold Stassen's face.

Well said.

And the extremely sad, even revolting outcome of their monopoly (thanks to the liberal breeding ground of the Columbia School of Broadcasting and colleges and universities in general) was the failure to win in Vietnam.

I never knew Walter Cronkite was a democrat, a liberal, a progressive as it were. Never even thought about such things.

Night after night I listened to him give the body bag count of Vietnam, and relate the horrors of the war, and the failure of our ability to fight it....I never knew until a FEW MONTHS AGO that we WON every single major offensive in Vietnam...that our precious troops, in the TET offensive had virtually WON that war at that time-with the Viet Cong losing over 50,000 fighters in a short few week period...

I DID NOT KNOW THIS BECAUSE THE MAJOR NETWORKS WERE BUSY BREAKING THE RESOLVE OF OUR NATION, CATERING TO THE ANTI_WAR FREAKS LIKE JOHN KERRY, AND LYING ABOUT OUR THE COURAGEOUS EFFORTS OF OUR TROOPS (whom they were dissing and dishonoring with every breath from their arrogant news speak.

MILLIONS DIED as a result of our giving up, they died in the killing fields of CAMOBODIA....and Lancey...the BOAT PEOPLE, oh my gosh, the fleeing from Vietnam at the end when we withdrew...the sadness....the DEATH!

Liberals stink.

And the major talking heads today are STILL TRYING to break our nation's resolve to win the war on terror, to STAY THE COURSE in IRAQ, to fund the war with the money required and to STAND BEHIND OUR PRESIDENT.

They want President Bush to be President 'Nixon'.

They believe in a peace that has everything cozy at home even as thousands, hundreds of thousands, and in Sudan, MILLIONS are slaughtered under the arm of tyrannical and mad leaders.

For me, that is not PEACE. If we cannot use this fabulous gift of freedom and spread this gift not only to help others receive this joyous and most important lifestyle, but to ENSURE a better, safer world in doing so...then WHAT ARE WE?

I DISPISE OUR MAINSTREAM PRESS, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE DEMOCRATS, BUT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT LEAVE THEIR POLITICAL BELIEFS AT HOME WHEN THEY GO TO WORK.

Rant /OFF! LOL Promise-no more long, verbose rants (at least tonight! lol)

...every time I turn around there's something new!

Same here! LOL The faster I read, the behinder I get. I'm even reluctant to go to sleep....afraid I'll miss something, and I usually do. Next morning, put coffee on, and boot up to see what the night shift came up with AGAIN. Ain't it wonderful!?!!

You may be right, but Rather has dug himself into a pretty deep hole defending this hoax and might have to eventually fall on his sword.
