(2004-09-15) -- Former CIA director George Tenet today defended CBS news reporter Dan Rather for his use of potentially inauthentic documents to prove that then-Lt. George W. Bush sought special treatment to evade service in the Air National Guard in the early 1970s.

"Those memos are a slam-dunk," said Mr. Tenet, gesturing broadly, "Dan Rather did the due diligence of seeking document experts who agreed with his predetermined opinion. What more can you ask?"

The Clinton-appointed former CIA director, said Mr. Rather shouldn't worry about losing his job over 'memogate'.

"Dan Rather asks the tough questions and does his homework, or gets someone to do it," Mr. Tenet said. "If I were still at the Agency, I'd take a look at his resume, even if he typed it up in Microsoft Word."

Today on MSNBC - the document analist CBS hired revealed that Rather was told the documents were not authentic.

But Rather went with the story anyway.

Rather and CBS are done.

Some funny shit...

Is it still funny....

Rather = funny shit and "done"

President misleading America into unprovoked attack, war and occupation of Iraq = ok.

I think I got it.

 

[poopsicle]

Y'all make it sound like Americans will actually remember this after the fall season starts.

Good point PewPsickIll.

An election may very well be carried by 6 months of "improving economy" after 3 1/2 years of miserable ecomonic conditions, record deficits, and forcasts of SS becoming extict before G-X sees a fuking penny of their own contributions.

Nobody else is accountable is this hypocracy of "the era of accountability", so why should we expect Rather to be?

 

[dafunk]

Acting on the same evidence and intelligence of WMD's that Bill Clinton has verified = OK

Fabricating documents, lying = problem

Right, because in the "era of responsibility" responsiblity always falls on the previous administration?

And, furthermore, acting and not acting are clearly the same action, despite they, by definition, being polar opposites, right?

Then again, at least Bush is preaching what he practices - consistency.

Consistently misleading the American public.
Consistently lying about his lies to wage unjust war.
Consistently preying on the fear of the cowardly Americans.
Consistently denying that he's led a miserable economy despite the fact he's about to become only the second US President to have a net loss in jobs during his term. And, to add fuel to his miserable failed career he claims that outsourcing is a good thing. Well, yeah, for have-it-all, worked-for-none-of-it over-privledged clown like himself I guess it might be a good thing -- for the other 99.9% of us it sucks.

Are you crazy or just stupid?

Clinton had the luxury of ignoring intelligence as nobody was flying planes into buildings during his term.

On 9/11 we paid for that idiot being asleep at the switch for 8 years. And we will continue to pay for decades to come.

I wonder what kind of message would have been sent to terrorists if the US had done nothing in response.

dafunk,

you are absolutely correct.

save your energy, landers a fukin idiot.

he hates america at ever turn.

 

[WildBill]

Game,

When will you learn manners? Do you expect respect when you resort to acting like that? I thought disagreeing with leaders if you choose was an American right?

 

[GAMEFACE]

WB,

I only attack a couple of posters because they started the attacks and name calling, lander being one. When he's losing he attacks, he's called me every name in the book. Have you ever questioned landers attacks on 50 posters?

Be that as it may, even you must see the irony in the completely uninformed calling the opposition stuipd -- as Bush and his cronies had the "foresight" to start planning for the unprovoked attack against Iraq before 9/11.

I know, I know ... you girls like to think that America is a big WWF-ish game, but unfortunately there are still a few of us that realize that not too long ago the American flag flew honorably. Now it's just a ragged mess of capilitism turned to complete corpution trying to camoflauge itself as the sign of freedom.

The entire world can see what shame your patsy hero has brought to America, yet half of America is still too stupid to figure it out.

No offense - because, really now, intelligence is only a relative term & without a bunch of dum-dums like you and GameFarce running around these boards my self esteem might sink a bit.
