Interesting -- CBS/TANG stuff
For those of you more in the know about the CBS memos and whatnot, here's the most thorough history and conspiracy theory I've been able to find. Scott, what do you think about this?
Whether CBS should have aired the story is its own matter, and I have no idea with the Joe Lockhart conversation. He says that Burkett called him. Who knows.
I guess what I'm asking is, why would someone go to the trouble and try to create and pass off documents that mimic the real ones (which the secretary says they do) but are obviously not authentic?
And if Joe Lockhart were going to seek out forgeries to trick Dan Rather, couldn't he have done a better job?
I don't know who to believe yet, but do you really believe that Karl Rove wouldn't try and burn someone who is a political enemy and who is one of the closest links to this whole story? A story he has had to continually fight for 15 years? I know that in the grand scheme, the story really isn't that important, but I just haven't heard a good explanation for who made up the docs and why.
