Oh, The Irony!

It just gets worse and worse for CBS, 60 Minutes and Dan Rather. It's hard to believe this but it seems that CBS bumped a well-reported story on forged documents regarding the uranium from Niger that helped lead the US to war to Iraq in favor of the rehashed story about Bush's National Guard service, a story that, get this, relied on forged documents. [SIGH]

Read the whole report here:

The Story That Didn’t Run

CBS's rush to report its apparently felonious story has not only undermined the network's credibility, and made questionable any attack on Bush or his administration, but has cost the American people the possibility of hearing information about how we were led into war. How many stories now are going to be shelved because of the journalistic quicksand that CBS fell into?

Yellow Cake, Wilson and Plame. The government knew this was a scam. The real answer is no one is sure who Plame and Wilson really work for. The tradition for these two types of people would have been for Wilson to defect and Plame to 'run' him.

Kerry has since hired and paid them, so I guess they're okay.
