Unbelievable

(Well, not really, considering)

From ABC News Noted Now (http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/NotedNow/Noted_Now.html):

HODGES SAID HE WAS MISLED BY CBS:

Retired Maj. General Hodges, Killian's supervisor at the Grd, tells ABC News that he feels CBS misled him about the documents they uncovered. According to Hodges, CBS told him the documents were "handwritten" and after CBS read him excerpts he said, "well if he wrote them that's what he felt."

Hodges also said he did not see the documents in the 70's and he cannot authenticate the documents or the contents. His personal belief is that the documents have been "computer generated" and are a "fraud".

CBS responds: ""We believed Col. Hodges the first time we spoke with him. We believe the documents to be genuine. We stand by our story and will continue to report on it."

Uh huh. They will “continue to report on it.” As if that’s what they’d been doing from the start.

Right.

Personally, I hope that See BS continues to hold out. The longer and deeper into the trench they go, the more explosive will be the eventual come-uppance. At some point they’ll have thrown so much of their “credibility” behind these forgeries that they’ll have none left in store.

I just can’t wait until they turn to cannibalism.

I really don’t think this will be the end for Rather. But for the first time it’s actually occurred to me that it’s a possibility. Man! Can you imagine?! Taking out Kerry and Rather? That’d be quite a two-fer.

And the end of an age.
