Statement by the President of CBS News, Andrew Heyward:

“We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television. There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know. Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that’s what we are doing.”

If this is the statement then I note the following change in position…Heyward says that “memos are accurate” not that they are real. They are planning to stand by the story even if they are forgeries.

I do not believe that CBS can afford to admit that they are fakes because they become open to a Justice Department investigation into their role in the dissemination of knowingly forged official government correspondence.
