The CBS News document forgery story in now a criminal case. Think about it. These are forged Federal documents and this is a criminal cover-up. It's time to bring in Federal law enforcement.

Dan Rather has indeed become Richard Nixon. And this is Dan Rather's Watergate.

Any lawyers out there who can fill me in on all the laws relevant to the criminal conspiracy Dan Rather and CBS News have become a party to?

UPDATE: Powerline: "In the coverup phase of the story, CBS's stonewalling transforms CBS from the dupe of a con into a participant in the fraud. Is Daniel Schorr available to remind his old friends at CBS that the coverup is worse than the crime?"

UPDATE II: Captain Ed: "This goes far beyond journalistic malpractice and could go as far as libel (or slander). Dan Rather and CBS knowingly broadcast a story they knew to be based on documents that could not be authenticated and were most likely forgeries, advice they received from their own experts."

UPDATE III: "A petition has been placed at Petitions Online to request that United States Attorney General John Ashcroft order an investigation into the authenticity of documents recently used by CBS News anchor Dan Rather ..
