- Jay Currie asks "The more basic question is how could a rabble of bloggers, in one day, provide hard core proof of forgery when major news organizations took those documents at face value?"
- Instapundit provides a roundup of the initial skirmish between CBS and the bloggers, and another roundup of Dan Rather's attempt at "damage control".
- The American Spectator reports that the Kerry Campaign might very well be the source of the documents. The Daily Recycler reproduces the article here, the original being shut down by an overload of hits from The Drudge Report.
- FactCheck.org compiles various coverage by the mainstream press -- and warning signals that 60 Minutes might have picked up, if only they weren't so eager to smear the President and chase after a hot story.
- Little Green Footballs is having fun experimenting with Microsoft Word, managing to reproduce what looks to be an very close replica of the documents flaunted on "60 Minutes".
If the CBS execs who approved the running of this story aren't concerned about their job security, they oughtta be. I wonder who's the next Jayson Blair?
In other news, Iowa Senator Tom Harkin denounced President Bush as a liar for misrepresenting the facts regarding his servince in the National Guard.
But, as Instapundit shows, Harkin's one to talk -- having been exposed as a fake Vietnam Vet himself.
The Kerry Campaign could certainly do a lot better.
