The part I like is this... LOL... Well let us say it is icing on the cake all over CBS and dan rather's face.... LOL.... These idiots have no idea how stuped they reveal themselves to be. Mr. Howard also said in the interview that the White House did not dispute the veracity of the documents when it was presented to them on the morning of the report.
