It would be most helpful if SOMEONE could say whether all 6 memos were on the USAT site from the beginning.

So far, I have not been convinced they were. If you go to the "text" file on USAT, it says, "Here are the texts of FOUR memos indicating...". Supposedly, they posted pdf files at the same time which had SIX memos. The text file was posted at 9:45 am on Thursday...long before the media was questioning the authenticity of CBS's docs. I'm just not sure I believe that USAT would have cut down their text illustration merely to match what CBS had reported the night before.

This just doesn't add up.

Timeout, I'm inclined to agree. A lot doesnt add up- my questions come from analyzing the docs themselves. You're saying that you cant believe USAT was covering the CBS story rather than covering the actual facts? That they were staying with the same docs that the Rather story was featuring rather than the docs that were supposedly at issue?

What does all this suggest to you? At his point I'm just...well, I dont have the word for it.
