The tenor of the article seems to be putting distance between sKerry and Burkett, which makes me suspicious that it came from his campaign. However, given that the memo was faxed from near Burkett's house, maybe Jenjis John was smart enough to just broker the transaction between Rather and Burkett. I think that either way, they clearly knew this was coming, though.
Well Bill Burkett if you are reading this and if you truly had a hand in this terrible act, my advice is to get to the FBI and start talking. FIRST ONE TO ROLL OVER GETS LESS TIME. CBS is about to out you, why do you think the Kinko's connection leaked? You are being sh*t on by your compadres.
