CBS Defends Its Report on Bush Military Record By JIM RUTENBERG and KATE ZERNIKE Published: September 11, 2004 ASHINGTON, Sept. 10 - The debate over President Bush's National Guard service turned into a furious battle over the minutiae of Vietnam-era typewriter fonts on Friday as CBS News mounted a vigorous defense against critics who doubted the authenticity of four documents that suggested Mr. Bush had shirked his duty. Dan Rather, the CBS News anchor, moved aggressively - on the air - to protect the credibility of the news division. ... In an interview on Friday, Mr. Rather said: "CBS News stands by, and I stand by, the thoroughness and accuracy of this report, period. Our story is true." On television later, he depicted questions about the veracity of the report as a counterattack coming in part from "partisan political operatives." On the "Evening News," Mr. Rather interviewed a handwriting expert who he said had helped CBS News verify the authenticity of the documents. The expert, Marcel B. Matley, said their signatures were consistent with those of Colonel Killian on records that the White House has independently given reporters. nytimes.com
