An update on Haileygate...CBS's bogus documents may have claimed another reputation... as this appears to be self-inflicted, the professor's motivation remains unclear.
UPDATE: Crikey, these people are incredibly dense...Utah State University fires back at Whizbang, misses and shoots own toe:
CBS News didn't return calls for comment, and Mapes declined to discuss Hodges' charges. "I can't, I just can't," she says. But she did forward a study by Utah State University Associate Professor David Hailey disputing the contention that the memos were created on a word processor using digital type rather than a '70s-era typewriter--the key challenge to their authenticity. "I really believe they are not digitally produced," Hailey says. "I'm not saying that they're authentic. I'm saying they were probably typewritten. That doesn't make them authentic. But it does take CBS off the hook a little bit."
The good professor doesn't seem to get it, he's just put the hook in his own mouth.
