Rather destroyed whatever credibility he and his network had over something that were it true, would hardly be considered scandalous.

Yes. Clinton got elected after his draft-dodging, and whatever happened in Bush's TANG service, he still has 4 years of commanding the best Armed Forces in the world.

I do not see what was worth this for Rather. I still wonder if he is not being stymied by his and CBS's attorneys, perhaps, with a threat of jail time if he admits to any of this?

I really have no idea what his motivation is. But honestly, I don't think he is well. Mentally that is. I think maybe seeing the damage the swiftees did, especially knowing what his feelings are about that war, put him over the edge.
