If Rather was the one who made the go decision with those documents he probably should be fired.

I do think some kind of examination of the process is called for.

Ya know - Ive been kinda following this whole thing and so far I have yet to hear one person give proof one way or the other as to whether the documents are real or not - there has been loads of speculation - mostly by other media "correspondents and advisors" that have said matterly of factly that the documents are faked - but they have yet to prove it - other than a few comments by some people on a blog that say they can prove it - but have yet to. Seems the other media outlets are using this as a good dissing of CBS - and so far the only theory I can find that makes any sense having lived through the Watergate years - is that that group of right-wingers that have been paying for all of the TV ads against Kerry, set up CBS - sounds like the most likely theory.
On the one of the other points about the quality of education in the US - it seems that for the last 30 years the quality has taken a nose-dive, along with the advent of less parental control and involvement with schoolwork other than soccer and bumper stickers - add to that the fact that I have listened to teachers in this area talk and seen their writing at our store - and they can't even use proper grammer or write proper English.

Funniest example I can remember lately - a teacher with her two kids walked into the locl pet store while I was there - the store has a beautiful Macaw sitting on a pole - the kids are all excited - and then I hear from the mothers mouth "Do He Talk?" - I yelled over "Yes he does, Do you?"
