Beating sense into the day's news

Old Media is now joining the blogosphere (I prefer "PajamaLand," as it brings to mind images of childhood board games such as Chutes and Ladders, or Uncle Wiggily) in the conclusion that the Killian documents aired by 60 Minutes were indeed forgeries. Thoughts are now turning to the documents’ provenance, and to the question of what Dan Rather knew, and when he knew it.

Jonathan V. Last of Galley Slaves considers the possibilities here, while CrushKerry notes some finger-pointing in the direction of MoveOn.org. Meanwhile, Paul at Wizbang is pondering the issue, Powerline mentions a source who hints: “Keep an eye on Ben Barnes,” and Newsweek – by way of Ace of Spades - is eyeing Bill Burkett. Also, don’t miss the post by Fresh Air (on that same Ace of Spades thread), positing why the forger mistakenly thought Walter Staudt was still in the National Guard in 1973.

The plot thickens...

UPDATE (11:07pm PT):

Shots Across the Bow thinks that Kerry's been fragged!
