September 28, 2005 -- DAN Rather wants to reopen the investigation into President Bush and the National Guard story that resulted in the Memogate scandal and led to his early departure from the anchor desk. But his bosses at CBS have forbidden him to go back at it, he said.
"CBS News doesn't want me to do that story," Rather said. "They wouldn't let me do that story,"
Rather continues to insist that the story was correct and suggested in the interview that he and the network may have been set up by some outsider.
"There are some strange, and to me, still mysterious things," he said. "Certainly unexplained things that happened about how it got attacked and why, even before the program was over," Rather said.
The report, delivered by Rather last September, was discredited two weeks later after drawing fire, first from politically conservative Web logs and later from mainstream media.
"I believed in the story," Rather said. "The facts of the story were correct.
"One supporting pillar of the story, albeit an important one, one supporting pillar was brought into question," he said. "To this day, no one has proven whether it was what it purported to be or not."

CRACK POT ALERT!
Dan Rather has lost his mind.
What a maroon.
Dan, you ignorant slut. At most, ONE of these two can be correct, since they are mutually exclusive. Either some "outsider" set you up (the bomb!) by feeding you a false story, OR the story is true & therefore there was no setup, OR neither one happened and you're just a bitter old moron.
The thing that is disappointing is that many in the left follow Dan's brand of logic, (illogic?).
Dan went to Baghdad but I never saw Dan and Baghdad Bob in the same place at the same time.
Baghdad Bob has disappeared, do you think there's any chance Dan IS Baghdad Bob?
I have this document here... just printed it... it's a total fake, but the content is accurate. It's from Saddam, it says Dan is really Baghdad Bob, and is Saddam's lover.
He doesn't. He says so (unwittingly) in his interview with Marvin Kalb. See also Powerline on Mary Mapes. She says in her book that she'd never heard of FR, Powerline, or Little Green Footballs before they ruined her show.
Now that's shocking when it comes from leading journalists. It means they're completely unaware of the beliefs and views of a very large and powerful segment of the public. It means they're isolated, blind, and self-absorbed to an extent I never would have believed if they hadn't said so.
He got that from Mary Mapes who read Buckhead's initial post but didn't know that the default time zone on FR's time stamp is PST.
"One supporting pillar of the story, albeit an important one, one supporting pillar was brought into question,"
Hello.
Earth calling Dan.
This was the only support of the fake story. All the principals told you the story was fake.
But then what does the truth matter when you are a Bush Hater.
It's official Dan is now a moonbat, well he has always been a moonbat, but now it is official!
Seems to me that he's already had one.
Seems to me that he's already had one.
Well Dan, there's an old saying about these things. "Sometimes you ride the bull, and sometimes the bull rides you." And if you make another run at President Bush, you'll get the horns again, ya twit.
"This National Guard story is still hotter than a Laredo parking lot."
Hey Dan,
Nice try! You are a slimy scumbag just like your hero Bill Clinton. You both got caught in a lie before national and international TV. No matter how much you both try to spin your versions of your despicable acts against the American people, we will never forget the truth: That you are both low-life, lying scumbags.
Rather needs rest. We all know his leftist Democrap daughter was behind this ham-handed effort to get Bush. Most in the MSM know that too but won't lift a finger to find out who the real culprits were. Danny boy has totally lost what little of a mind he may have had.
