I thought this email anouncment was suposed to happen at Noon. If that is eastern time they are 45 min late. Maybe there is some re-thinking going.


Announcement by email? Maybe they're rethinking doing it this way - might get caught up with other spam email, ya know . . .

The CBS email announcement is a FORGERY!

It was typed on a 1970 Smith-Corona typewriter and NOT a modern word processor.

According to Kerry Spot (http://www.nationalreview.com/kerry/kerryspot.asp), it seems they're going to be talking to the secrety, who said earlier that the memos were fake but the details were correct . . .

could the delay be the request by Congressman Cox for a Congressional investigation, and that CBS doesn't want to incriminate themselves any further by putting out more false evidence?

Maybe their printer broke and they're having trouble producing more documents to back them up....s

According to CBS:

On Tuesday, a private anti-Bush group called Texans for Truth offered a $50,000 reward for "anyone who can prove Bush's claim that he fulfilled his service requirements."

If any of you guys wins this award, could you donate part of it to SBVT?

Was it to come out at 12 EST? Or was it LCT (left coast time)

MSM only thinks in Eastern Time so they are late.

Yep - 1 1/2 hours late. Wondering if that announcement announcement was a forgery . . .

read at a blog, I think it may have been instapundit, a theory that CBS might be trying to get a typesetter to create "originals"

They can talk to any secretary they want. Third party opinions (from a secretary???) will not make the documents any more valid. Regardless of what she thinks Killian's opinion was, it doesn't matter. The only thing they have to hang their hat on is forged documents. It would seem that if third party opinion could tip the scales of reality, the CO's wife and son would be more privvy to such information. To which they disagree entirely....

There's no way out for CBS. We're likely to see every possible spin before it's over. But CBS, for the sake of maintaining any form of credibility, should their losses now and dump Rather. I think that's their ownly hope of salvation...

They are late because they want to delay as long as possible so they will be able to get good ratings one more time. . .

This morning someone on Free Republic posted another potentially explosive find explained here: http://www.allahpundit.com/archives/000960.html
If true, CBS will face another round of fresh questioning about the number of memos they had vs. the number of memos they presented, and why all were not posted.

In that case, the announcement will need to be delayed a bit longer while they brew tea to "age" the "originals"--C
