The Wall Within
by TheRanger

In case you don't recognize the subject line, The Wall Within was an expose done by Rather supposedly on the plight of Vietnam War vets whose lives were wrecked by the War since they became depressed, homeless, jobless and turned to drugs and alcohol. Rather with his razor sharp research skills interviewed six of these "vets" and told a heart wrenching story of how the war destroyed their lives. Unfortunately (for Rather) it came to light that 5 of these "Vietnam vets" had never been in Vietnam and the sixth who had been in Vietnam was a repairman not a SEAL as he claimed.

So it should be no surprise that Rather was taken in by the Killian memos despite his previous experience. Why? Answer these questions:

1. What are the odds that Rather picked 6 people who were not what they claimed they were?

2. What are the odds of #1 and the Killian memos happening to the same reporter?

3. CBS claimed Rather's sources (plural) were unimpeachable, yet despite the prevarication of these anonymous sources, why has neither CBS nor Rather revealed them?

Maybe Rather can write a book and title it:

If I Did Lie!
