"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television. There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know. Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."

From the Bablefish translator, CBS-ese to English:

"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television."

Translation: "Of course the memos are accurate. How dare you question an organization as great as CBS!

"There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know."

Translation: "Our contacts in the Kerry Campaign and Terry McAuliffe's secretary vouched for the documents."

"Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."

Translation: "We're hoping this blows over in a few days. Now, shut up and trust us. After all, we're CBS."
