From a reader:

He gave the documents to CBS, and lied to their producer about them
(implying that he knew they were fake, but told her they were not fake, if
you believe what he says or what CBS says, which I really don’t at this
point) in order to *protect the actual source of the documents* which he,
logically, was not. Somebody gave them to him, and he gave them to CBS. He
said that it was “another Guardsman,” and has now admitted it was not
another Guardsman, but has not said who it was. We therefore still don’t
know.
Burkett was the conduit between the source and CBS. Who was the source?
That’s the entire question, and always has been. Whoever it was has
committed at least one federal felony, perhaps two. And if the
“unimpeachable,” as yet unidentified source has a return address at Kerry’s
campaign or the DNC, Kerry’s finished, and this scandal will make everything
up to this point look like a paper cut.
This scandal is just beginning, and Rather and his boss won’t survive it.
But even that is small stuff compared to what I think will unfold.
