That doesn't explain Rather and CBS. There is no way they could have been conned on this. I don't buy the argument that they so wanted the memos to be real they let it blind them. Too much information that would discredit the memos was readily available to CBS.

I completely agree. My position has been that those at CBS (obviously more than just Rather) are willing collaborators.

Agree with you totally..This could get ugly for CBS

CBS's connection to the scandal is through the efforts of Jim Moore, a man whom CBS has acknowledged working with. He is the author of two anti-Bush books and likely helped get Burkett and Mapes together.

Moore is also a former CBS affiliate employee at KHOU, which coinicidentally happens to be the station at which Dan Rather worked at before jumping to CBS News.
