Rather Looking for A Sign from God?(Welcome Captain's Quarters and Ed Driscoll readers! Thanks, Eds!)
Sheesh,
according to Captain Ed, Dan Ra
ther's still insisting that the documents he presented on 60 Minutes II haven't been proven phony.
"...[T]his panel came forward and what they concluded, among the things they concluded after months of investigation and spending millions of dollars, they could not determine that the documents were fraudulent. Important point, that we don't know whether the documents were fraudulent or not."We also don't know whether Dan's a secret agent for the Chinese who's been cleverly fooling us with a caucasian mask and his folksy Texas Ra
therisms, or not.
You see the problem? When he says nobody's proven the documents false or not, he's demanding extraordinary proof of their falsity. But of course, a real newsman should be in the business of demanding extraordinary proof of their validity. That's supposed to be the difference between CBS News and the National Enquirer.
If God were to appear suddenly in the Western sky and write in letters of fire, "The documents were fake!" Rather would note that there was no record of anybody by the name of God serving with then-Lieutenant George W. Bush in the Texas Air National Guard.
