There goes CBS' trump card out the window......
Danny Boy's Turning A Crisp Brown BUMP
The jig is up. They cannot possibly carry on the charade if this guy is deserting them.
This guy was a major part of their "verification"...see this mornings comments on cbs website, saying the documents where just one part of the story...individuals who worked with Killian(sp?) have verified his feelings....he is a foil..Rather stuck words in his mouth as a backup source...Rather is a professional fraudster!
CBS's alphabet rivals have an interesting decision to make. They can destroy the competition by pursuing this, but that would mean destroying the Kerry campaign in the process. Will they accept that kind of collateral damage?
Good going Dan!
Poor Dan. one can only drink the Kool-aid for so long before you get the dirty glass.
FLOOD Drudge with this:

Well I can see why CBS thought they were real with verification like that....

HODGES SAID HE WAS MISLED BY CBS: 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."
Hodges also said he did not see the documents in the 70's and he cannot authenticate the documents or the contents. His personal belief is that the documents have been "computer generated" and are a "fraud".
Why those corrupt SOB's.........It's Federal Grand Jury time!!!!!!!!!!!
So9
The beauty of this whole story is Terry Macawful tying the DNC and John Forger Kerredy to it. His ranting and raving over these documents have seared...seared I tell you..into the minds of voters that they supported CBS on this. Sending Dan Blabber off into the sunset with this story being the last big one he will be remembered for will make Danny a bitter, bitter man. he he he...
I'll bet Al Bore is very unhappy with his "invention" today!
So Rather's CBS forged (or was given forged) documents that were so stupidly done that they are about as convincing as a $200 bill with George Bush's face on it, then rams through shoddy "verification" over the phone, then immediately dumps them into the Sixty Minutes slime machine. It's so breathtaking. It sounds like something Goebbels would have done.
THIS IS ASTOUNDING!
This is truly CORRUPT!
This is an attempt by mapes and CBS to bring down a PRESIDENT based on a lie.
Maybe dan rather is going to get his just 'do' over this...if this is how 60MINUTES and CBS has been running their newsroom, if this is what passes for investigative integrity in their world, if this is how they present the so called news to the American people...then it is time that CBS cleaned up its house or shut down their news programs.
So what will they blame this development on, Richard Mellon Scaife's checkbook, Karl Rove's mind control beams, or all of the above?
FYI
Hodges also said he did not see the documents in the 70's and he cannot authenticate the documents or the contents. His personal belief is that the documents have been "computer generated" and are a "fraud".
Oh dear...What's the frequency NOW?
