You moron. You flaming idiot. This is like being confident that you have an absolutely, utterly, completely accurate map of Chicago - except the problem is that you're in Miami. Who gives a rip about their chain of custody? THE DOCUMENTS ARE FAKE.
CBS would do well to remember the #1 lesson of Watergate - the coverup is ALWAYS worse than the crime. Always. Every single time.
Fess up, throw yourselves on the mercy of the American people, and hope for the best.
This is almost heart stopping funny. Kinko's is the choice of secure custody for people with secrets to keep. Oh man, what twits.
now don't go casting your pearls before swine....
Fact is, there are a LOT of VERY serious issues that should be pushed HARD about the documets.
1. The widow and son were IGNORED
2. Document experts were IGNORED
3. Hodges was MISLED
4. The old secretary was NOT INTERVIEWED until afterward
5. The opinions of the experts were MISREPRESENTED
6. The swift boat veterans were MALIGNED
7. George Bush's roomate DURING HIS GUARD YEARS, who AGREED TO SPEAK TO THEM WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS TOO "PRO BUSH"...
And the list goes on. Fact is, this was a HIT PIECE ON BUSH. And just because dnCBS owns up to fake documents does NOT CLEAR THEIR PROPAGANDA / DNC REPORTING!!
If the documents were the ONLY ISSUE in this, without all of the other plainly propaganda driven results, it wouldn't be such an issue.
THE DOCUMENTS ARE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG! THE ICEBERG IS THE MANIPULATION AND DECEPTION OF THE PUBLIC!!

I give quite a large rip, actually. If the chain includes Kerry campaign officials, and that fact becomes public, the election is over and we take 56 seats in the Senate. That would be a good thing and that all goes back to chain of custody.
Given their protestations about 'unimpeachable sources' and a 'rock-solid chain of custody,' CBS will be hard pressed to be vague about where and how they got them. My belief is that the whole reason CBS has twisted this long before admitting the documents were forgeries is that they had to come up with an approach to doing so that does not reveal the Kerry campaign's involvement.
It will be important to watch the hand that is not gesturing over the next few days. That hand holds the actual chain-of-custody information.
Actually a documented chain of custody is very useful.
At trail.
