CBS News website handles the memos with more integrity than Rather. Excerpt:

>>CBS News Anchor Dan Rather, who reported the story for 60 Minutes, said typewriters were available in the early 1970s which were capable of printing superscripts. CBS pointed to other Texas Air National Guard documents released by the White House that include an example of a raised "th" superscript.

That superscript, however, is in a different typeface than the one used for the CBS memos. Document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines of Paradise Valley, Ariz., who examined the documents for the AP, said she was "virtually certain" they were generated by computer.

Some forensic experts were quoted by news organizations, including The Associated Press, saying the memos appeared to have been computer-generated with characteristics that weren't available three decades ago.

Can you imagine how much productive time of the web's collective conciousness is wasted on this stuff?

Probably about the same amount of time spent reading the dirty parts in Ken Starr's report on Bill and Monica.

If CBS wants to protect themselves from lawsuits and public censorship, they should do a thorough investigation and put Rather on paid administrative leave.
