Additional reporting on the documents will air on Monday's CBS Evening News, including the interview of Burkett by Rather.So why should we believe anything that comes from CBS from here on out?

What did Rather know and when did he know it?

They regret the memos were bad forgeries. Next time they'll be better forgeries and will be harder to debunk.

They regret attempting to harm President Bush with a fraudulent story or they regret getting exposed as partisan hacks by a bunch of amateurs in their pajamas?

"We made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry,"
I think that Dan burned his last bridge with real world reporting a long time ago and it is only NOW obvious to everyone.

They're only sorry that they got caught.

So does this mean Burkett confessed to making the forgeries or just handing them over???
In a statement, CBS said former Texas Guard official Bill Burkett "has acknowledged that he provided the now-disputed documents" and "admits that he deliberately misled the CBS News producer working on the report, giving her a false account of the documents' origins to protect a promise of confidentiality to the actual source."

This is not enough. They did some damage to the President's reputation. There needs to be some form of compensation. Saying, "I'm sorry" don't get it done.

To: Howlin
Gosh, so many choices...
Did he just define "is", or is he saying that there really is no controlling legal authority?
Dan Rather is so full of cBS that he can't tell the truth from a lie.
I hope they make him a CBS Exec. They deserve each other.
To: Ben Chad
The question is, what did Kerry know and when did he know it.

It looks like CBS would still like to say that the Documents are genuine since they are only saying that the source mislead them about where he got them. This is S-BS.
To: Paleo Conservative
Forget the memos, next time just find some people who are willing to lie about what they saw, heard and know. Then you don't have pesky people questioning how memos were created with Microsoft Word in 1972. Trouble is, CBS will find people to source who are 32 years old.
