Looks like the Reps also care about whether the CBS documents are "forged" -->Lawmaker calls for investigation of CBS for Bush service story "NEW YORK (AP) — A leading House Republican on Wednesday asked for a congressional investigation into disputed documents used by CBS News for a story examining President Bush's Vietnam-era service in the Texas Air National Guard. Some document experts have questioned whether a memo believed to come from one of Bush's commanders at the time was fake. The memo from Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, used by CBS in its 60 Minutes report last week, indicated Bush didn't follow orders to take a physical and that Killian was being pressured to sugarcoat his performance ratings. "We continue to believe in this story," said Betsy West, CBS News' senior vice president. Rep. Chris Cox, R-Calif., sought an investigation. "Despite the growing abundance of evidence that CBS News has aided and abetted fraud, the network has declined to reveal the source of the disputed documents," Cox wrote to the chairman of the House Energy Committee's subcommittee on telecommunications and the Internet. The letter asks Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., to "commence a subcommittee investigation into the continued use by CBS News of apparently forged documents concerning the service record of President George W. Bush intended to unfairly damage his reputation and influence the outcome of the 2004 presidential election." CBS had no immediate comment on Cox's request." Make It So, Yousef
