RATHER: The failure of CBS News to do just that, to properly scrutinize the documents and their source, led to errors in our reporting. CBS News deeply regrets it. That might have worked if the documents had been good fakes. It's not going to fly after CBS spent 10 days standing behind obvious forgeries, even refusing to investigate them at all.

So Burkett's motivation, beyond hurting Bush, was to get himself a job: Does that mean they won't check out those that submit themselves for key positions, as well. And now CBS has poorly forged documents supplied by a self-admitted liar: Burkett initially told CBS news he got the documents from a fellow guardsman. But when we interviewed Burkett this past weekend, he changed his story, and told us he got the documents from a different source, one we cannot verify. ..... BURKETT: Yes. And I simply threw out a name. Rather himself sums it up: RATHER: Now, if you would misled us about that, which is critical, why would I or anyone believe that you wouldn't mislead us about something else? So there is no Bush-related story left here. There's only a story about CBS, Burkett, and the Kerry campaign.
