by Joe Hagan




Finally, after showing the reporting to CBS News president Andrew Hayward, senior vice president Betsy West and 60 Minutes Wednesday executive producer Josh Howard, Mr. Rather said he went to officials at the White House.

1. "If you can’t deny the information,...

"If you can’t deny the information, then attack and seek to destroy the credibility of the messenger, the bearer of the information. And in this case, it’s change the subject from the truth of the information to the truth of the documents.

"This is your basic fogging machine, which is set up to cloud the issue, to obscure the truth," he said.


Mr. Rather said that he and his longtime CBS producer, Mary Mapes, had investigated the story for nearly five years, finally convincing a source to give them the National Guard documents. He did not reveal the name of the source, but Mr. Rather said he was a man who had been reluctant to come forth with them because he’d been harassed by political operatives. "Whether one believes it or not, this person believed that he and his family had been harassed and even threatened," he said. "We were not able to confirm that, but his fear was that what had already been threats, intimidation, if he gave up the documents, could get worse—maybe a lot worse."

This backs up the Kitty Kelly book...they are the Mob of politics. :scared:

2. The Bush Body Count is rather extensive

Of course, some of the names on it are speculative since we don't have ironclad "proof," but still -- there are dozens that we KNOW about. How many more we've never heard of?

4. You know, I was thinking about that today...

Has anyone ever done a bodycount with timelines? It just seems like obvious like the footprints in the sand of the deserted island analogy for reasonable doubt.

3. This may also explain why....

...the documents appear to have been transcribed.

The content has been verified.

5. Yet the echo chamber reverberates.
