AIM editor Kincaid responded that, “Roberts should have known --or should have asked -- about the source of the documents. But it didn't really matter if Roberts knew where the documents came from or not. The main problem was that the White House received the documents only three and one-half hours before Bartlett was interviewed by Roberts about them. That was unfair and Roberts knew it. He should have refused to play a role in this ambush. Not only did he play a role in this attack, he then told Mapes & Company that the Bartlett interview, such as it was, went well! He should be held accountable for his role in the scandal. Pleading ignorance is hardly a defense.” Kincaid said it is clear that Roberts wanted to be part of the CBS story that was intended to politically damage President Bush and prevent his re-election. Roberts should not be able to get out of this by claiming he was just a gopher for Dan Rather and Mary Mapes and didn’t know what he was doing. So that's it? It's over and no more investigations, no more firings? The network, CBS, tried to bring down a President, does anyone realize the severity of this charge?
