Hiya CB
Isn't it illegal to forge government documents? Oh wait they don't have the originals so they have an out? I really don't get it... color me dense but if SeeBS can do this I guess anyone can pretty much say anthing and back it up with any damn thing and nothing will come of it.
Good to see ya!
Some of the forgeries are just personal comments. One is a military order, but it has no effect (as in, nobody has to follow the order today, even if the document is authentic). In that light, I think the "forgery" angle evaporates.

That pretty much sums up the state of reality. Except in this case, the forgery is so bad and the alleagations are so serious that CBS won't be able to duck the fallout. In contrast, AP's lie about "the crowd booed and Bush did nothing" will stand.
The media can, and does lie with impunity, most of the time. It is the exception to hear or read an accurate news story.
