Stooge. Mule. Throwdown. Anyway, the Newspeak article actually gives credence to the Rather hoax. "Oh everybody's throwing mud. The documents 'might' not be real. No bounce for Bush." And blah blah blah.

I think Isikoff is probably correct that he is a major source and it would not suprise me if that included the memos, although the article does not say so. My view of Bill Burkett is as a possibly obsessed person who might provide the material CBS was so keen to get.

I don't see that CBS has ANY interest in revealing their source, especially if it is one like this. If they dump on him, they dump on themselves. His medical problems and long history as a dogged Bush basher are well known.

You think that whoever at CBS decided to take the flyer, maybe saw Burkett as a fusible link, a sacrificial source if it went south?
