Finally, she details how in that probe the question of how "liberal" she was became paramount.OF COURSE it did. Because how many several-years-long probes into Kerry and his many dubious Vietnam claims did CBS do, after all? (For that matter, how many short-term probes did they do?)

Ms. Mapes, does the acronym STFU mean anything to you?

He signed off with a favorite expression of his: "FEA" for "---- them all." This statement is more telling about Rather than just about any other. The "them" are anybody not within his political hemisphere, namely Republicans.

I am glad Mary Mapes got fired and humiliated by her actions. I live in Oklahoma City and Carol Marin of 60 Minutes was going to do a story on the Oklahoma City bombing of the Murrah Federal Building. It would have covered information that had not been brought out in the national media about the connection to Middle Eastern terrorists and state sponsored terrorism that was being covered up by the administration of President Clinton. Clinton did not want any state sponsored terrorism on his watch.
David Schippers knew Carol personally and thought highly of her. The feeling was mutual. Schippers wrote the forward to the book, "The Third Terrorist" by Jayna Davis. (See jaynadavis.com) This is the book that details the involvement of an Iraqi member of the Republican Guard in the OKC bombing. The story was vetoed by a producer at 60 Minutes. That producer was none other than Mary Mapes. Mapes is the one that is the political hack with an agenda.

Ex Communist Chambers testified before Congress and exposed Hiss as a spy. Chambers hid some evidentuary papers inside a pumpkin on his farm, an act which gave rise to "the pumpkin papers" reference.
He was vilified for years and Hiss was defended by the liberals, but the proof of Hiss's treason was bullet proof.
Incidentally, William F. Buckley was Chambers' ostracized friend and visited him at his farm right up until Chambers' death. I've always admired Buckley for that kindness and loyalty.

Let me clarify that above...It was Chambers who was ostracized, not Buckley.
Chambers went on to write a best selling book...considered a classic now. It's title is, appropriately enough WHITNESS.

She claims that a researcher has since shown her typography on other documents from the period Bush was in the Guard that suggest that the memos she obtained can not be easily dismissed "as being forgeries." Below is forged CBS document overlayed by Microsoft Word in default mode......courtesy Little Green Footballs..

"Easily dismissed" is an appropriate characterization. All it took was one glance to see that they could not be what they were purported to be.Your one glance was a more thorough analysis than all of Mary Mapes' experts gave put together, I'll concede that.

Mapes Claims Docs Can't Be 'Easily Dismissed' as Forgeries Puh-leeze. Trying to pass these things off as actual memos typed on a Texas Air National Guard base in 1973 is like trying to pass off Plan Nine From Outer Space clips as actual UFO footage.
