Seems there's now some question as to the authenticity of the memos CBS relied on as a part of their recent story on Bush's service in Vietnam.

I have a bunch of thoughts on this, and here's just one... Nice to see the media doing their job in questioning the facts. And interesting that in this case it happened incredibly quickly, while with the Swift Boats it took days to get to a similar position.

What to watch next? If thee do turn out to be fake, will the media turn this one back at Kerry? Bush was largely given a pass by the media on the Swifties, this despite the obvious connections between their backers and his campaign. So far no one has shown any connection to Kerry, although the Bush administration has tried to suggest the link. If they push the issue, how will the media respond?
