And what is the penalty for deliberately forging a document to undermine, defame and discredit the President during a time of war?
I'm thinking the "experts" at CBS were hired to manufacture good fakes. Yes, I am beginning to think CBS was in on the scam, rather than just the duped victim of the scam. Sure they wanted it to be true and that helped. But it's that whole line about having their experts check it out that damns them the most.
the documents are amateurish only in retrospect.
Just damm!

BTTT!
and LOL!
They don't even know how the military operates? </sarcasm off
How large is Rather's staff? Does he take "research" from the DNC or their spin-off fronts?
If he's "fed" the "news" is there an inherent bias to keep his handlers in power?
Is there a conflict of interest when your "news" is from people out power? Is there incentive to slant news to get "your guys" back in?
Does Rather have a dog in this fight?
If the DNC is doing Rather's work for him, what are they getting in return? What's the cost? Does CBS pay with their reputation for Rather's "scoops"?
What is the is the coin of the realm for a one-sided "bribe" in the news field? Is it information?
Some meth junkie needed money fast. Not his best job of forgery but it only has to fool one person.
Dan Rather should resign or be fired !!
CBS news should fire Dan Rather for not being absolutely positively certain of the authenticity of these forged documents. We are in the absolute final leg of a Presidential election and Dan Rather rushed to press to get these dociuments on the air because he thought it would potentially help Kerry and hurt Bush. He is blinded by his partisanship and is not fit to be a journalist.
Dan Rather never even looked into where these papers came from. It was his job to be CERTAIN of their authenticity. It's fitting that Rather's career comes to an end under this cloud of his extremist partisanship. He will always be remembered for this. His legacy will be fitting....a reporter who would lie to America if it supported his Left Wing Ideology.

"Orders were issued on the standard USAF orders form. (I still have a stack of my old ones. There's not a "memo" among them)."
This is the REAL smoking gun! As I have stated in other posts, just pull out your "old" military records and check them against these frauds! It is the best, and easiest way to verify authenticity.
I served one year in ANG and 9 years in USAF. I have all of my orders. They have been useful throughout the years.
What other CBS smears include forged documents?
I have no doubt the memos are fake. But if someone from the Kerry campaign was going to leak fake memos, then why aren't the memos more damaging to GW? The damage isn't from the the memo's, but from the Dem shills in the MSM rehashing old stuff, while ignoring the 260 something Swiftboat Vets.
4 May 72 order - Military flight physicals are based on birth month, and good to the end of the month. Bush would not have been ordered and failed to perform letter issued before flt phy was due in July.
which means CBS intentional ignoried facts. (wonder what was in their FBI files)
What else has CBS faked? will fake?
The next fakes will be much better.

where it all began..plus mass email to the networds via FR.
I heard Greg Kelly on Fox News awhile ago say that the physical exam date given doesn't jive with military standards. He said that President Bush was accused of refusing to take a physical in May. However, military physicals fall on the persons birthdate. It should have been requested in July.
