powerlineblog UPDATE 11: <font size=4>CBS is sticking to its story. It's not entirely clear which story, however. Initially, CBS spokeswoman Kelli Edwards said: <font color=blue> As is standard practice at CBS News, each of the documents broadcast on '60 Minutes' was thoroughly investigated by independent experts, and we are convinced of their authenticity.<font color=black> Later, however, Ms. Edwards sent out an email that appeared to revise the nature of the <font color=blue>"authentication"<font color=black> process: <font color=blue> CBS verified the authenticity of the documents by talking to individuals who had seen the documents at the time they were written. These individuals were close associates of Colonel Jerry Killian and confirm that the documents reflect his opinions at the time the documents were written.<font color=black> So what CBS is now saying is not that the documents are authentic, but that the opinions they express are authentic, based on the hearsay reports of anonymous persons alleged to be close associates of Col. Killian, who recall his views of thirty-two years ago. This is what passes for <font color=blue>"authentication"<font color=black> in the mainstream media. powerlineblog.com
