"As AIM goes forward with our awards, there is some evidence that CBS may be coming to grips with the scandal. It's about time."

Big Kudos.

Making a difference against the forces of evil! Way to go!

"...And most importantly, she said that "Accuracy must come first. Fair and objective will flow outward from that."

That was the message of AIM founder Reed Irvine. It's too bad that Dan Rather didn't take it to heart. Reed finished his time on earth with his head held high, a man of principle who told the truth. Rather is slinking away in disgrace."

It still amazes me that anyone would go to the length's that they did to forge documents and then be so sloppy. Any former officer could tell at a glance something was wrong due to the format and terminology that was used.

BTW, what has happened to any follow up on identifying the perp's who tried this feeble stunt. If we can spend millions over this phony plame leak it would seem that folks trying to influence an election by lying should have some very serious ramifications.

Huge Kudos to Buckhead, TankerKC, and
all FReepers that took part.

Just think about it. If it weren't for Buckhead and TankerC, John Kerry might be President of the United States now. ((((shudders))))

AWARD time for our fearless and knowledgable FREEPERS, Buckhead and TankerKC! They and FreeRepublic deserve the credit for exposing this intellectual dishonesty.

"Within a few minutes, I was online visiting Websites I had never heard of before: Free Republic, Little Green Footballs, Power Line," writes Mapes...

"They were hard-core, politically angry, hyperconservative sites loaded with vitriol about Dan Rather and CBS."

"This was something else, something new and fundamentally frightening," Mapes writes. "I had never seen this kind of response to any story.

"It dawned on me that I was present at the birth of a political jihad."

Congratulations FReepers!

[Unknown Freeper]

Congratulations. Yes, one man (well, in this case, two men) can make a difference.
