The Killian Documents - We've Got Mail
By The MinuteMan

Highlights from my e-mail on the CBS News / 60 Minutes controversy and the forgery question hanging over the Killian documents:

- "Did a CBS exec really say that, in verifying these documents, CBS went "several extra miles"? It looks now like Dan Rather is going the Last Mile."

- "Has anyone spotted Bias author Bernie Goldberg? I bet he's giggling like a guy hooked up to nitrous oxide."

- "The luckiest "Big Media" guy in America this morning is Nick Kristof. On any other day, his "compelling witness" joke of a column would have been pummelled, but with Rather and Hewitt on the menu, he was just a table scrap."

Good point about Kristof. Briefly, in a Wednesday column, he endorsed Bob Mintz as a "compelling witness" against Bush in the Alabama AWOL controversy. By Thursday, Bob Mintz had been debunked by CBS News (the closing paragraphs), and various omissions and distortions in the Kristof column were on the table.

Well, luckily for Kristof the feeding frenzy devoured Rather. But if folks are still hungry...
