[Rhodes22-list] Ben C at it again...

[Benjamin Cittadino]

  Ed;

Dan Rather lies?  What lies?  He was criticized for poor documentation of
the Bush national guard story, but nobody ever showed that the underlying
facts about Bush were wrong.  Besides, the reaction of CBS to the issue was
a very harsh, self-critical report, and implementation of safeguards for the
future.  What did you want? 

Best

Ben C.
