I just don’t buy it that Dan Rather took the word of Burkett, a wildly partisan activist, at face value, and made no attempt to confirm it:
In the statement, CBS said: Burkett originally said he obtained the documents from another former Guardsman. Now he says he got them from a different source whose connection to the documents and identity CBS News has been unable to verify to this point.
60 MINUTES is biased and untrustworthy on matters of politics, but they’re not so dumb as to do that—as to just take this guy’s word for it that these documents were real.
There’s got to be more to this that 60 MINUTES is hiding.
