Rather
The 200+ report on RatherGate has been released; various people are commenting on it. The Houston Chronicle's report is here. Again, what it does and doesn't say is interesting. What it does mention that I didn't know was that Mary Mapes was the producer on the first 60 Minutes segment on the Abu Ghraib prison. What it doesn't mention is anything about blogs at all.
Questions were quickly raised about the typed memos, with some document experts saying it appeared they contained a computer character inconsistent with typewriters at the time.When it would be more accurate to say the documents are obviously fakes, to the point that even a group of blind howler monkeys wouldn't accept them as authentic.
