Could it be possible that Lockhart wrote the "fake memos" and handed them to Bill Burkett and Burkett to Rather?

The worst punishment is to leave Mapes, et al slowly, slowly twisting in the wind. It's like a death from a thousand cuts, brah.
Did you see the "effective speech", or did you see "parts of it" (all over the media), there is a difference.
Did he resign from the committee before or after he voted against it?
Mark for later...
What I saw was effective. In my judgment. It needs to be dealt with in the way I suggested In my judgment.
Mapes is a goner. Will she show up on CNN?
For the most part, it was a rehash of the "Bush lied" argument, and then he ended up essentially arguing that we would be better off if we had left Saddam Hussein alone.
That position will not play well with swing voters.
That is a Bad idea .. we are not the DU

Lie Detector Tests for everyone! I'll pay!
Dr. Walid Phares has some good insight into the current Iraq situation and how we might manage it from a military and social point of view. Google him and you should find links to his writings. Hell, he's been on practically every talking-head news show over the last year.

I hope you are right. But I don't think so, unless Bush responds skillfully. Kerry got back into the game on Iraq, after being out of the game, and in fact so inept was he, that he was squirting blood all over the carpet over it. Now his self inflicted cuts have been potentially stiched up.
It was red meat for the base .. that speech of his can be slammed down in so many ways
Don't worry ... Bush & the RNC will deal with it
Right on! And in addition to the phone number of Burkett, Cleland as a former Army Captain, was probably very familiar with the form and content of Officer Fitness Reports. Maybe that is how Army terminology slipped into a falsified document, as the former Texas Air National secretary stated.
Other heads will roll.
It*s going to be fun watching the RATS roll over on their own. When they realize that they could be facing criminal charges, they will start eating their own. Stay tuned....
Because that was part of the deal. Burkett would only give up the docs if CBS would facilitate a contact at the Kerry campaign.
