Dan Rather on tonight's evening news.

So Burkett gave the documents to CBS News and admits he lied to them about where he got the documents, but still insists he believed they were true. [UPDATE: Transcript.] Rather says Burkett now says he got the documents from "a different source, one we cannot verify." Well, that's very interesting. Let me know when you feel like telling us what the claimed source is. And hurry up, please, because I'm having trouble not assuming it was someone from within the Kerry campaign.



Rather asks Burkett if he's forged or faked anything, and Burkett (whom I can't trust) says no. Burkett could truthfully say that if he were merely used as a conduit for faked documents. The key question remains who Burkett got the documents from (or if Burkett is lying about faking them himself).



After the interview with Burkett, Rather expresses regret while trying to maintain his dignity, but I'm quite bored with that right now. The key question is who is this source behind Burkett? Don't think you got away with any sleight of hand! That's the question now.
