Were CBS's Bush TANG documents EVER conclusively proven to be fake?

[UdoKier]

I've yet to see any proof that they were...

[whistle]

1. No, only the copy was a fake....

2. SO were the authentic documents ever found?

Or is it still just the secretary's word that the content of the memo was authentic?

[blm]

6. Actually, they didn't conclude the copy was forged, either. They just said

that it didn't go through a proper process.

So, if a few months and a few million dollars and some top experts couldn't say it was forged, then it was likely NOT forged.

Very clever to present a copy instead of a forged document. That way if another document popped up you were still in the clear, but the thrust of the story as a discredited document was still controlled by a media willing to roll over for Bush.

3. No, the story became Dan Rather rather than AWOL. (Ouch!)

Which was the Rovian plan.

Rather rather... :eyes:

4. Nothing was critically verified one way or the other.

I'm not even sure the copy was verified as fake - I think it was finally called inconclusive.

5. In the modst of all this broughaha...

The incredible investigatory work of one Paul Lukasiak was all but ignored.

Lukasiak has the goods on The Chimp. Solid and locked down.
