Rathergate
Some new articles on the big Rathergate scandal.
Allah links to an entry at
Shiny Happy Gulag. The blog's author worked extensively with typesetting equipment and explains the reasons why this is a forgery.
Meanwhile, at
Ace of Spades, a possible source for the documents is discussed.
bq. Bill Burkett has previously been eager to spin wild tales to anyone willing to give him the time of day. If he is the source of the forged documents, then it seems unlikely that he didn't want to be named as the source.
bq. It seems rather more likely that Dan Rather didn't want to name him as the source, given his "political partisan" background, his strongly anti-Bush animus, his ever-shifting stories, and his history of "nervous breakdowns," never regarded as indica of credibility.
Not 110% ironclad but definitely of interest...
