Kind words. To be fair, I've recruited some helpers, and nothing may come of it.
That post needs a James Brown WAV file.
If Wretchard produces proof of Iraqi Weapons of Mass destruction, say a security video tape from a Kwik-E-Mart at the Syrian border before the war turns up, will he get his Absolut Link status back?

One commenter on INDC had an interesting point:
"There exists the possibility that Burkett typed the memos from hand-written documents.
I don't know if the Democrats can think three moves ahead, but the 'bombshell after the bombshell' of Burkett producing accurate, possibly authentic, hand-written documents from Killian would be a disaster for Bush and the pajamahadeen.
The spin could be a simple 'Killian's handwriting was hard to read, so I transcribed the documents for my own use and decided to fax those to CBS instead. I'm sorry'."
I doubt it is true, but considering CBS's record, they may actively be working with a real forger of Abegnale quality to come up with some nice hand-written notes to make a story like this. If they were to come out with hand-written documents, that would be immediate response.
A lot of people are using the metaphor of "drinking Kool-aid" to described the obstinate refusal of Rather and CBS to acknowledge their conspicuous lapse in judgment. Let's remember that is a reference to the Jonestown MASSACRE of 1978. Hundreds of members of The People's Temple, founded and lead by Jim Jones, having surrendered to his brutal leadership, were forced to drink poisoned FLAVOR-aidŽ at his command. Nine hundred died in minutes along with their babies and children, while Congressman Leo J. Ryan and several others who had come to investigate complaints of abuse, were murdered as they prepared to board their plane at a nearby airstrip.
It seems almost ludicrously appropriate that Jones and his followers had relocated to Guyana after leaving San Francisco. I guess the atmosphere there was just too conservative for them.
