Retired Maj. General Hodges, Killian's supervisor at the Grd, tells ABC News that he feels CBS misled him about the documents they uncovered. According to Hodges, CBS told him the documents were "handwritten" and after CBS read him excerpts he said, "well if he wrote them that's what he felt."

The problem is, Lancey, as I see it, anyway, Dan Rather and Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings and the rest of the network talking heads live in a bubble of security that they do not understand has burst.

They believe they are invincible.

That their cozy relationship with the DNC, or those who share their liberal agenda, has made them partners in a deception to inform the American people of ONLY that which is FAVORABLE to their cause.

That they do this under the umbrellas of a so called NEWS PROGRAM FORMAT has had so many of us upset since forever.

Dan does NOT UNDERSTAND that we, the little people, CARE about the TRUTH and at the very least, some BALANCE in our news information. He does not understand that we are NOT STUPID.

And worse, he does not think that we can impact his ability to lie and spin and distort and cover-up and refuse to be accountable.

We can. And we are. And he cannot (he can no LONGER, that is) shove uncomfortable events under the table and 'move on'. He LIED to the American people by refusing to tell the full story of the guard service, he REFUSEd to include sources willing to be named, who DISAGREE and are HURT by this horrific hoax.

He is acting like he believes he is above this....so I assume he believes it.

This man does not have the COURAGE to tell the TRUTH when it might impact him and his buddies in the dem party.

Hodges also said he did not see the documents in the 70's and he cannot authenticate the documents or the contents. His personal belief is that the documents have been "computer generated" and are a "fraud".

Well they did put on a "expert" who really isnt an expert accept at covering up a certain famous suicide. SO I doubt they will quit while they are this far behind, they will deny deny deny and the liberal shills will keep carrying there water.

Someone needs to tart compiling the damning evidence other that the fake memos - e.g. Killian's son says he spoke with CBS and offered rto put them in contact with other guard members that knew Bush - but the reply from CBS was -" we know about them and they are Bush supporters"

"Actually, they told him they WERE handwritten."

That might explain the handwriting expert IF Rather is setting us up. But why type a document to look like the real thing if the original is handwritten? This makes no sense.

The key to unraveling this is to discuss this with law enforcement forgery experts to narrow down a list of criminals who use this technique, then look for a nexus between them and DNC goons.

This is the spin CBS handed the Washington Post......

"A senior CBS official, who asked not to be named because CBS managers did not want to go beyond their official statement, named one of the network's sources as retired Maj. Gen. Bobby W. Hodges, the immediate superior of the documents' alleged author, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian. He said a CBS reporter read the documents to Hodges over the phone and Hodges replied that "these are the things that Killian had expressed to me at the time."

"These documents represent what Killian not only was putting in memoranda, but was telling other people," the CBS News official said. "Journalistically, we've gone several extra miles."

The official said the network regarded Hodges's comments as "the trump card" on the question of authenticity, as he is a Republican who acknowledged that he did not want to hurt Bush. Hodges, who declined to grant an on-camera interview to CBS, did not respond to messages left on his home answering machine in Texas."

The beauty of this whole story is Terry Macawful tying the DNC and John Forger Kerredy to it. His ranting and raving over these documents have seared...seared I tell you..into the minds of voters that they supported CBS on this. Sending Dan Blabber off into the sunset with this story being the last big one he will be remembered for will make Danny a bitter, bitter man. he he he...

I'll bet Al Bore is very unhappy with his "invention" today!

This bears repeating:

"By the looks of this Rather has been mugged again."
