(CBS) EDITOR'S NOTE: In response to controversy over this report and questions about the authenticity of documents in the story, CBS News has issued this statement:

"For the record, CBS News stands by the thoroughness and accuracy of the 60 Minutes report this Wednesday on President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard.

This report was not based solely on recovered documents, but rather on a preponderance of evidence, including documents that were provided by unimpeachable sources, interviews with former Texas National Guard officials and individuals who worked closely back in the early 1970s with Col. Jerry Killian and were well acquainted with his procedures, his character and his thinking.

They're standing by their story based on the testimony of two known Bush haters. That's it. That's their story.

Wow. "Unimpeachable sources".

At least now we know Bill Clinton didn't manufacture them.

They're standing by their story based on the testimony of two known Bush haters. That's it. That's their story.

So let's get this straight. In all of Kerry's time in the Navy (if that's what he was in) he picked up two guys who will vouch for his character.

In all Bush's time, he picked up two guys who won't.

Seems about right.
