Rathergate: The Panel, Criminal Investigation

Well, CBS has named a two-person panel which is a good start, but I think only a start. At the least three people are needed, and I would urge them to pick someone who has familiarity with New Media as a part of it. Only time will tell what will come from this.

Time is the key here. The public deserves to know what went on, in detail, well before the election. This goes beyond the actions of CBS in airing the documents. It means that we need a full criminal investigation of where the memos came from; how they got to CBS; the full extent of any coordination and/or collusion with any campaign; and, the full intent of this effort. To do anything less is a disservice to the public and to the Republic.

UPDATE: And all the more needed NOW if this is true and Mapes is still actively working the story. Hat Tip goes to LGF.

UPDATE III: And, of course, here and read it all.

BTW: I will keep updating these links in case CBS comes to visit again today, so they can get one stop shopping as they peruse the enemy...
