Poor Dan Blather, filing suit against CBS for 70 million dollars!? The old SOB just can't get it through his thick haid that when you mess up bad enough, you get canned.

What did they fire him for, I forgot?
For his part in the bogus investigative reporting of Bush's National Guard Service;

1. The failure to obtain clear authentication of any of the Killian documents from any document examiner;

2. The false statement in the September 8 Segment that an expert had authenticated the Killian documents when all he had done was authenticate one signature from one document used in the Segment;

3. The failure of 60 Minutes Wednesday management to scrutinize the publicly available, and at times controversial, background of the source of the documents, retired Texas Army National Guard Lieutenant Colonel Bill Burkett;

4. The failure to find and interview the individual who was understood at the outset to be Lieutenant Colonel Burkett’s source of the Killian documents, and thus to establish the chain of custody;

5. The failure to establish a basis for the statement in the Segment that the documents “were taken from Colonel Killian’s personal files”;

6. The failure to develop adequate corroboration to support the statements in the Killian documents and to carefully compare the Killian documents to official TexANG records, which would have identified, at a minimum, notable inconsistencies in content and format;

7. The failure to interview a range of former National Guardsmen who served with Lieutenant Colonel Killian and who had different perspectives about the documents;

8. The misleading impression conveyed in the Segment that Lieutenant Strong had authenticated the content of the documents when he did not have the personal knowledge to do so;

9. The failure to have a vetting process capable of dealing effectively with the production speed, significance and sensitivity of the Segment; and

10. The telephone call prior to the Segment’s airing by the producer of the Segment to a senior campaign official of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry - a clear conflict of interest - that created the appearance of a political bias.

They forge documents to throw an election and some pathetic lefty thinks they shouldn't be fired. The funny thing is they used technology that didn't exist when the documents were supposed to have existed. OOPS

There was an unholy alliance between Rather/DNC/Kerry/CBS & this lawsuit will reveal it if it goes forward. The suit won't go forward; Rather is going to be 70 mil richer, and it will all be shut up money. Where oh where are the congressional hearings?

Rather is biting the hand that feeds him, and it appears it will feed him even better!!!

smart move by him, they hung him out to dry, and now he is making an attempt to uncover the whole mess.
