this story has always struck me
as a metaphor for the entire Bush II Iraq War.
A man, with a specific agenda, gets ahold of some documents that seem to prove his case. He goes public. The documents are revealed to be fake (or at least less "slam-dunk-y" than originally thought).
Why does Dan Rather then get fired, his reputation shredded, his career marginalized, while Bush gets reelected, and Congress rolls over and plays dead? Can we compare the harm from the "memogate" story to the harm from the current "presumptive strike" on Iraq?
Good luck, Dan!
