"Bill Burkett, who CBS now says is their source, in fact is not an unimpeachable source as was previously claimed," McClellan said. "Bill Burkett is a source who has been discredited and so this raises a lot of questions. There were media reports about Mr. Burkett having senior level contacts with the Kerry campaign."

The Kerry campaign has said it had nothing to do with the story.

Burkett, a Democrat, sent an e-mail last month to several Texas Democrats, saying he had passed along information to Max Cleland, a former Georgia senator and Kerry supporter, about information that would counter criticism of Kerry's Vietnam War service.

Cleland said Monday he does "not have any knowledge" about documents used to support the "60 Minutes" story.

Heyward told the AP he has "no reason to believe either the Kerry campaign or the Bush campaign was involved in this."

"A lot of reporting went into this story," Heyward said. "It's not as if one person's account was taken at face value."

could cost the 72-year-old Rather his career.

Cost him his career hell. I wanna know why he isn't sitting in a jail cellwhile his criminal acts are investigated. I would be.

He helped perpetuate a fraud using forged documents in an effort to unseat a sitting President of the United States.

He was part of a conspriacy to commit fraud!! Why isn't he lining a jail cell like I would be??
