How did the WH know the docs' chain of possession was bad?

What was their insight into this? Clearly, W couldn't have known Killian's correspondence file in any normal capaacity?
When will THIS be asked?

1. because they were behind it all

I think that is a pretty good indicator!

2. I'd like to see McClelan have to answer this question

After all, the facts were not in dispute, so that couldn't have been it. The "typewriter" thingy is BS - we all know that, so, what? Please explain....

3. Contrariwise:

Q Scott, on the National Guard documents on "60 Minutes," the First Lady says she believes these are forgeries. The RNC has accused the Democratic Party of being the source of these documents. Knowing then what you know now, would you still have released those documents when you did?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, that's a hypothetical question, John. We received those documents from a major news organization. We had every reason to believe that they were authentic at that time.

-----------------------

No reason to doubt their authenticity since they already knew what a slacker President aWol was in the NG.

:shrug:


(And IMHO the docs actual/fake status is still to be determined.)

4. Who will hold them accountable for their own words?

Too many traitors to democracy running the media....they won't feature the truth.
