The official said the network regarded Hodges's comments as "the trump card" on the question of authenticity

No wonder CBS was hoaxed, if their thinking is as sloppy as this! Hodges's comments could not authenticate the documents, as he had never laid eyes on the documents, nor even heard from Killian or any 3rd party of their existence. All Hodge's comments could speak to was the plausibility of the existence of such documents, not their actual existence.

The Democratic National Committee sought to fuel the controversy yesterday by holding a news conference at which Sen. Tom Harkin (Iowa) pointed to the documents as a fresh indictment of Bush's credibility. <<<<<<<<<<

A front-page story in The Post yesterday noted that CBS declined to provide details about the source of the documents, the authenticity of which could not be independently confirmed.

Interesting comments from the WaPo....But then again, they don't want to be painted with the "same bad paint" brush...
