Dan Rather & CBS wanted so desperately to believe the documents, that they disregarded any standards of objective research. CBS concluded that the documents were genuine, and ridiculed objections as traceable to "partisan political operatives" or amateurs in pajamas. Sadly, that attitude has been witnessed in this thread. Because Kerry embellished the details of his Iraq junket, some posters desperately want to believe that he truly claimed to have been in Safwan 3 Mar 91, which would have pinned him again as an egregious liar. There are enough examples of Kerry's lying, without beating this issue to death. The New Media can compete with and often overwhelm the Old Media, but only if facts are accepted and not dismissed as being inconvenient.
