John Podhoretz in the NY Post:
"There's no need to pull any punches now. I'm going to be blunt here: Anybody who spends an hour reviewing the evidence and the expert testimony knows they're forgeries. . . . And I will say this even more bluntly: If you do spend that hour and at the end say you're not convinced, you're either stupid or blind or insanely partisan. Or you're guilty of wishful thinking to an extreme degree."
The article is appropriately titled CBS Forges Ahead. It's a great article. Podhoretz called the circumstances leading to the story "a perfect storm of wishful thinking." Conclusion:
"for reasons largely consigned within the peculiar brain of its anchorman, Dan Rather, the CBS news division is refusing to face the reality that it has been caught out in the most significant forgery scandal to hit journalism since the Hitler diaries."
