killian documents

I see that there isn't a thread on this, so I thought I would start out by stating my firm belief that the so-called Killian memos aired by Dan Rather during a 60 Minutes II episode on Wednesday, September 8, 2004 were crude (and "rather" obvious) forgeries. A definitive analysis is provided...

Dan Rather has filed a $70 million lawsuit against CBS claiming that the Bush administration forced the network censor and cover up the Bush military record story that ended up causing Rather's resignation from the network. The suit claims that his public apology was forced by CBS and led to...

I think not but... ...the hounds have picked up the fox scent. Link Dan Rather will certainly read. Not because it concerns him, but just so he knows he's not long alone in his new, but soon closing, 60minII office.

Source. I suppose it's legal, blogs by their very nature are without the sort of organization that might make this against the rules. It still seems disapointing, though.

Reuters They are way over the line.

Despite Dan Rather admitting that the memos "can't be authenticated", I still hold on to the possibility of them being genuine because I heard there were typewriters back then that could do it. I also still refuse to examine any overlays done with IBM selectrics versus those done with word...

MRC (warning, biased source) summarizes Rather's comments to the Post Its a biased account, but Rather's own remarks are so out of touch and arrogant that its almost surreal or like hes living a parody of himself. Is this Elvis syndrome? Is he surrounded by asskissers who won't level with...

I'm creating this thread for all of the supposition, guesstimating, and theorizing we want to do for the memo. I think we should indulge ourselves and go into the realm of the unprovable if only for fun and to see if someone is actually proved right later on. So far the thoeries already put...

I thought we should start a new thread on skepticism and the memo. By now, we are no longer arguing the authenticity of the memos. Right now memo apologists have as much street cred as flat earthers or 7 day creationists to me. I see the following trends in thought though: 1. memos are fakes...

On the NBC Sunday evening news, they did their best to gloss over the CBS memo scandal and ignore the smoking gun evidence. Now, I don't normally watch establishment media news shows, but this was really pathetic. I could learn more from reading the slashdot comments then I could from their...

An allegation that Bush aides reviewed and cleaned the records reported in NY Times, and in a soon to be published book. Interestingly, the complaint was made in 1998. However, it is very difficult to judge truthfulness of these allegations at this time. This might explain the mystery of the...
