The issue, as I mentioned before, is, "What is the ground truth". If you want to change that to "why did someone forge documents and then pitch them to Dan Rather", by all means do so; but bear in mind that the issue is a different one, aimed at a very different culprit for very different kinds of dishonesty, and of much less interest, because of his obscure position, then the culpability or lack thereof on the part of the current Resident.

So I am curious why you keep trying to change the subject from Bush to Rather. Or from Bush, in other threads, to some other administration long out of power? Or from Bush to those who criticize him? Or from Bush to your momma? Any duck, any weave will serve?
