This is ridiculous. Rather IS part of this story. Why in the world are they allowing him to interview this guy? CBS just reached a new low - as hard as that is to do.

CBS News anchor Dan Rather has interviewed the retired lieutenant colonel widely believed to have helped provide "60 Minutes" with the disputed National Guard documents about President Bush that have created a credibility crisis for the network, and CBS plans to air the interview in the coming days.
