John T. Floore (not verified) says:

how could anyone possibly be against bringing out ALL the facts and laying them on the table in the daylight for all to see and evaluate?

i was always surprised that rather's story became so controversial. after all, it didn't actually advance the story all that much. serious reporting by AP and various newspapers had long proven that george w. bush had been given favorable treatment in getting into the national guard and that his performance was poor at best. maybe rather's piece of the bush/guard story ignited because it aired so close to the election.

what rather's law suit hopefully WILL do -- unless cbs folds and settles, which i hope rather will not stand for -- is to put the key players under oath and make them give sworn depositions about what happened and why. THEN the facts will be clear. the specifics will be on-the-record for all to see. why wouldn't anyone want that to happen?

don't get bucked off that horse. go get 'em, Dan!
