I dunno, I think the Bush camp might have planted those so called fake
documents .

Ah, part of the vast right wing conspiracy, eh?

If so, CBS must be in a most uncomfortable position in refusing to identify
its source.

It is an interesting situation. On the one hand, no one disputes the
information contained in the memos, all the while focusing on the
authenticity and the source. The only reason I wonder about the
source is because I believe that Bush's files have been thoroughly
scrubbed, well before now, and that the Bush group is carefully
guarding what is allowed to be released. This could be a Karl Rove
move, as he has been known to bug his own office the day before a
debate in a Texas governor's race where he was working the campaign
for the republican candidate. He calls the media and says "look what
the democrats have done."

As far as identifying sources, I am still patiently waiting to hear
the source of the leak of the CIA agent to Bob Novak. One interesting
bit of trivia. During 1980, Karl Rove was fired for leaking
information to a journalist while working on the Reagan/Bush campaign.
The journalist? Bob Novak.

Interesting times
