Dan Rather apologizes
Somewhat smarmy, but welcome nevertheless: ******************************** After extensive additional interviews, I no longer have the confidence in these documents that would allow us to continue vouching for them journalistically," he said. "I find we have been misled on the key question of how our source for the documents came into possession of these papers. That, combined with some of the questions that have been raised in public and in the press, leads me to a point where -- if I knew then what I know now -- I would not have gone ahead with the story as it was aired, and I certainly would not have used the documents in question." ***************************** In the Washington Post, which has covered this story honestly from the beginning: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...2004Sep20.html all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Expedition sailboat charters www.expeditionsail.com |

"It was an error that was made, however, in good faith and in the spirit of trying to carry on a CBS News tradition of investigative reporting without fear or favoritism." Favoritism? Nah, not the Clinton Broadcasting System. |

Guess they are claiming "faulty intelligence" for misleading them into a
"quagmire" from which there is no way out except to "replace the leader" responsible for making the decision to "go to war" (against Bush). Jack G. "Greasy Rider" wrote in message m...

"Harry Andreas" wrote in message ... snip cogent and accurate assessment Dan Rather's rush to get this story into the news and smear Bush weeks before the election speaks volumes about his politics and ethics. Yep. It says the first is well left-of-center and the second is...nonexistent. ISTR Danny Boy was also leading the pack when it came to trying to trash the reputations of the SBVT after they had the temerity to dare question Kerry's military experience using his own (therefore not even a chance of any forgery or slander/libel being involved) past conflicting accounts; his one-sided (or should I say left-sided) approach to the "news" is a well established fact.

I guess your ignoring Lambert (who is voting for Bush) and Roods story on what really happened in two incidents that Kerry was decorated for. I find it interesting that Thurlow was in the drink when he says he witnessed all ths crap he is lying about http://tinyurl.com/48bja http://tinyurl.com/4nxp4 http://tinyurl.com/4jubk http://tinyurl.com/4lohz Read this and you'll find SBVT are lying sacks of ****!!!!
