I think we're missing a vital point here. Dan Rather along with others dismissed the Swift boat charges until Kerry & Co. attacked their credibility. Then they filed many stories noting that the 1st ad was only possible due to a person who had contributed to the GOP before. With the exception of Fox News, no one discussed the allegations and focused on ties to GOP fundraisers and labeled it a "smear."

Dan Rather has contributed to the Democratic Party and held fund raisers for it, he then airs a report based on fabricated documents and questionable witnesses. Yet no one calls it a "smear."

Frankly, I hope the family of Lt. Co. Killian files a lawsuit against CBS and Rather in particular. The discovery phase would yield some very interesting finds that Rather is trying to hide.

I support President Bush.

However, I must say that the Washington Prowler's unwillingness to name its sources is just as reprehensible as CBS's coyness in hiding theirs. Deep Throat notwithstanding, without identifiable and reliable witnesses on one side or documentary proof on the other, both parties' asseverations should be regarded with skepticism.
