And now CBS has poorly forged documents supplied by a self-admitted liar

...who almost certainly forged them himself. The mixing of Air Force and Army terms in the memos is a telltale. Note that CBS is still, as of tonight, claiming that Burkett served in the Texas Air National Guard instead of the Army National Guard, a report which you really would think that they could correct if they wished to.

One interesting question: who or what gave Mapes & Rather such confidence in the story that they didn't even bother to check the documents, except in the most cursory and pro forma manner? I know they wanted to believe the story, but it beggars belief that they would go so far out on a limb on Bill Burkett's say-so alone. Was it some kind of Democratic/MSM mass hysteria in action?
