Even Josh has questions. Game. Set. Match. CBS now says it regrets running the Memo story. They concede that Bill Burkett was their source for the documents and though Burkett does not admit the documents are forgeries he "admits that he deliberately misled the CBS News producer working on the report, giving her a false account of the documents' origins to protect a promise of confidentiality to the actual source." CBS says that while they have no specific knowledge that the documents are forgeries they also say that they cannot authenticate them and that the story should never have run. This only prompts the question of why they took so much on faith from Burkett in the first place. -- Josh Marshall
