If Dano had really been duped, my guess is that he would "out" the source in a moment. Since Mr. Rather has not "outed" his source, it is my suspicion that the source is a major Democrat or that there is major Democratic involvement with the source. br> -- J.

The only remaining question, the documents used on "60 Minutes II" being demonstrably faked, is WHY Dan Rather would not seek an investigation to substantiate his report or punish the guilty.

The answer is clear: if he ever admits the documents are frauds, he will not only no longer be obligated to protect the confidentiality of the source, but also, in fact, obligated to "out" the defrauder.
