Imagine if CBS hadn't put the memos on their website for review.
Dan Rather's excuse is that the copies we are seeing aren't "as good" as his photocopy. Of course, a photocopy is not as good as the original typed and handsigned letter.
The genuine letter does not exist and so a typewritten original will never be revealed. The signature on the bottom can be genuine if it was scanned in from another document. Let's see the ballpoint signature on the original.
Dan Rather needs to put up or shut up. He needs to be hounded out of the profession over this. He's a bigger laughing stock than Geraldo Rivera was after opening "Capone's vault" on live television.
