Dan Rather stands by his story
His lawsuit will attempt to show that CBS tried to suppress the report on Bush's National Guard Service and the Abu Ghraib abuses.

    "The issue is - were the core facts in Dan Rather's report on w's National Guard service basically on target? Despite the authenticity of some documents, can anyone deny the claims by some that Bush got preferential treatment and didn't complete his service obligation?"

    Thank you. Nice to know SOMEONE want's to stay on subject. And to answer your question, there IS NO point to this other than to redeem Mr. Rather's career.

    As I said earlier, due to President Carter's changes to the law, the only thing that could happen to President Bush if this were proven true, is that he could get a less than honorable discharge...and he could fairly quickly request an upgraded discharge at that.

    So WHY all this? First, to discredit President Bush and second to redeem Mr. Rather's tarnished reputation. That's it...that's ALL this would accomplish.

    Still, it WILL be interesting to see what comes of this court case, if anything.
