Snooze, lose.

The Mary Mapes name came out over the weekend.

Gannon wouldn't release the article until Monday. Other sources revealed it over the weekend.

This, in the age of electronic information, is old news.

Actually, to give credit where it is due, Hannity had it ON THE AIR, Sometime last week.

Freepers nailed her last week when the story broke.

Now Tom, you're right Mary Mapes' name came out over the week=end, the significance of this is: "Newsweek is suggesting (disclosing I bet), that Mapes received the documents from Bill Burkett"and disclosing that Burkett is "disgruntled". This is important, and I bet it will soon be proved beyond all doubt, that Burkett is the source of the forged documents.

It's probably going to come out that Burkett shopped around the forged documents, that other media (like USAToday), didn't bite. And I bet CBS will burn Burkett's butt in a heartbeat if need be, to try and salvage their own reputation. The momentum of this story continues to grow. Each add-on I've seen so far, just adds more stink to CBS.

But wait! I went to NEWSWEEK online to find "Newsweek is suggesting that Mapes received the documents from Bill Burkett, who it describes as a disgruntled former Guard officer. The magazine reports that Mapes flew to Texas to interview him"

and I can't find it.
