11. Don't jump to conclusions yet .....
Read this piece today by Greg Palast.

http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=371&row=1

The story is not the faked memos. The story is about media intimidation and censorship.. Palast shows that real authentication exists for all the claims in the fake memos. And it has been available for from 2-5 years and well published OUTSIDE the United States.

If this bru-ha-ha over fake memos ends up shining a bright light on the Bush Administration's Intimidation of the media, it will turn out to be the best thing that could have happened for all of us.

Here's a paragraph from Palast's piece:

This is not a story about Dan Rather. The white millionaire celebrity can defend himself without my help. This is really a story about fear, the fear that stops other reporters in the US from following the evidence about this Administration to where it leads.
