Maybe because the operation is being run by a bunch of kids who are getting bad goth fashion advice. They look like Linkin' Park rejects, and I am being kind.
To: TomGuy
There is still a time-line problem with the docs. Reports a few days ago said CBS/DNC had the docs 6 weeks before they aired on 60 Minutes. That would have put the docs in CBS/DNC hands in early August. However, the Kinkos faxes were supposedly sent in early September. That's because the Kinko's transmission was a cover for the prior "cahin of custody" that went through the DNC/Max.

"provided by Bill Burkett. He did not come to us; we went to him and ASKED him for the documents." Question: How did they know to go to Burkett? (DNC?)

Rather: Now, if you would mislead us about that, which is critical, why would I or anyone believe that you wouldn't mislead us about something else? Excellent point, Dan, which is why we never trust you on anything!

Maybe Burkett said he got them from Killian who is dead..LOL...

I continue to be absolutely bewildered by Dan Rather's intransigence on this matter.
Most of the news coverage is saying that CBS has admitted they were deceived about the memos. That's not what I saw.
What I saw was Dan Rather digging in and trying to salvage the story. He asked Bill Burkett (while knowing what his answer would be), "Did you forge the memos." Burkett answered "No."
What I saw was Dan Rather trying to send the message that the memos are indeed real, but they just can't prove it.
CBS News has turned this case into a farce!

(WHO MADE THE CBS MEMOS?!?!?)
To: Soul Seeker
The purpose of the interview was to serve mutual interests. Burkett will not ever be seen again on camera. The ground rules of the interview were to give plausiblity to Burketts implausible account of the story. In order to get Burkett on camera it had to be agreed the Burkett was not the intiator of contacting CBS. This lessens the appearance of guilt if you can believe that. The problem is that it asks a bigger question, why would CBS approach a certified nut like Burkett. It only opens the door that the DNC was involved which it was undoubtedly was.
To: VRWC_minion
Fox [anel says the DNC was quick to come out with an ad that used the CBS report, almost as if they knew what was coming (hint, hint)

This whole report just outlined the question in big bold letters, 72 pt. (proportional Times New Roman) type:
Where'd Burkett get these documents????

Keep your eye on those people carefully. Rather and Burkette look very dishonest to me as a man. What does a woman's eye say?

He did Lie, I just watched the instant replay on Fox.
He said and I Quote:"He was a Commander in the Texas AIR Guard."
THE SOB IS STILL LYING. He interjected the "Air" to make it seem more likely to swallow the story.
Dan Dan the Network BS Man!
