They think if they just lay low for a few weeks people will forget and they can get out of this

Unbelievable!
Well lets see here are my questions:

1. Who is the source for the fraudulant documents?
2. Who are the experts who vouched for the documents?
3. Has CBS instructed them not to talk to reporters?

That's it? This is a stop gap effort to hold off any explanation. The next few hours or days (whichever) should be fun.

My guess, there's a battle going on within CBS.

"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television. There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know. Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."

CBS says the memos fit their theory so they are "accurate." Authenticity is incidental.

Well, if that's the standard, I can write up a pretty damning set of "accurate" documents impeaching CBS's integrity.

I expected him to say that they "misled" by bad information just like 'Bush' took us into war based on misled information on WMD. You know, blame someone else.

They are on the golf course looking for the real memos.

This is a ploy to see if the furor over this dies down. If not they will be forced to fire Danny boy!

No matter what, Dan Rather will not be fired, forced to step aside, or in any way suffer any official sanction from CBS. Underlings will be the scapegoats. Mark my words.

To: RWR8189 Translation: We need more time to ply that 86 year old secretary with food and wine at the 21 Club. Tickets to Letterman and a night at the Pierre should secure her testimony 45 posted on 09/15/2004 6:21:41 PM EDT by CaptainK

And find her a nice old Olympia typewriter.

Now I know why they waited for Limbaugh and Hannity to finish their national radio shows before releasing this.

Evidentally unaware of the existence of the scholarly legal expert Hugh Hewitt, who does a fine talk show in his pajamas.

We all know that Haywood is a Rather placement and therefore sycophant.

"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television.

Translation: "Our standards are pretty damned low and we will put anything on television that fits our political agenda."

There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know.

Translation: "We listened to those individuals who said what we wanted to hear and totally ignored all others including Colonel Killian's family."

Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."

Translation: "We were caught red-handed in a fraud but we have decided to stall for time to see if there is any possible way we can weasel out of this."

"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television.

It's saying something when a news organization is so easily satisfied with what were obvious forgeries.

There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know.

And there was a great deal of conflicting evidence from people in a position to know, e.g. document experts, Killian's family, Killian's co-workers, which you failed to mention. How do you explain that?
