'Rathergate', continued...
Since the CBS News independent panel report (on the 60 minutes story on GW Bush's military service) came out, it's been talked over and over (see what comes up on it if you search blogs in Technorati, e.g., or check out the links in Ratherbiased.com). But if you want to read the report yourself, it's available online: CBS Report in PDF format. It's quite a long document, over 200 pages, but definitely worth a read, if only to match it to the claims being made. I've heard of radio reports claiming it cofirms that the documents reported on in the original story were definitely fabricated. That's way beyond the conclusions of this report, but it does say this about the documents:
mesh well substantively with the official Bush records. Second, the Killian documents vary in significant ways from the standard format and jargon of documents issued by the 147th Fighter Interceptor Group in the early 1970s. Thus, the Panel believes that there remain substantial questions regarding the authenticity of the Killian documents. The Panel believes that careful reporting prior to airing the Segment should have identified these questions and, at a minimum, should have delayed the broadcast so that more reporting could be conducted." The discrepancies in the documents are listed, and they concern more than just a question of typefaces proving when the document was first printed. posted by liz at 10:10 AM
