Question:  Why hasn’t CBS Apologized?

Please Ask CBS first to air the entire interview and then ask them why they have not apologized.  Of course an apology takes away all of the blame from sources other than CBS and accepts all responsibility for CBS.

Question:  Proof CBS was Asked To Authenticate CBS Documents Prior to Airing.

I did not negotiate the deal between myself and CBS.  My private attorney of six years did.  I am now seeking a special attorney to deal with the issues of defamation of character, breech of contract because my long-time attorney is now a material witness to the case and can not also be the attorney of record against CBS.

Question:  Did I represent them as Authentic?

I will not be trapped by this question.  I presented the documents to CBS as having come from a source that claimed to have had proper access; however, I could not verify the source to 100% certainty and could not verify the authenticity of the documents to 100% certainty though I believed them to be true on the basis of what I had been told and the basis that the information contained within them seemed both reasonable and reasonably communicated.

In the Interview CBS’s Dan Rather admits:

** Bill Burkett did not approach CBS; CBS, AP, NYTimes, Washington Post, ABC, NBC and others approached Bill Burkett asking his assistance in locating long rumored documents concerning Bush’s military past.

** Burkett demanded three conditions PRIOR to assistance:

– confidentiality for himself and his source(s),

– CBS complete an exhaustive and thorough authentication process which would preclude a need for identifying sources, and

– CBS would pay all costs, direct and indirect.

** CBS had acted recklessly in faxing documents from Abilene Kinkos, thus endangering Burkett and his sources.

** CBS had continued to ask Burkett for assistance; finally squeezing him to identify his sources as a means to protect themselves.

** CBS had experienced a pattern of leaks through the New York Times and others that endangered Burkett and his sources; ultimately outing not only Burkett but his primary source.

** Burkett had admitted his deception concerning his source(s) to CBS prior to the interview and that only five individuals within CBS had prior knowledge of this before the interview. Why Was this the entire focus of the interview and the clip placed on the CBS Evening News?

** CBS had lied to Burkett concerning their provision of support including security and legal services.
