Bill Burkett, in a weekend interview with CBS News Anchor and Correspondent Dan Rather, has acknowledged that he provided the now-disputed documents used in the Sept. 8 "60 Minutes Wednesday" report on President Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard.

But the big question is, to whom did he provide the documents, and where did he get them? Observe that the statement goes on to say, "Burkett, a retired National Guard lieutenant colonel, also admits that he deliberately misled the CBS News producer working on the report, giving her a false account of the documents’ origins to protect a promise of confidentiality to the actual sourceSo who is the "actual source?" Source of what, the documents themselves or CBS's source? The clear implication is that this source is someone other from Burkett himself. Max Cleland?

I just read on the FOX News website that Burkett says he gave the documents to Cleland.
