INDC Journal: Mary Mapes Names Names (”Anonymous” Ones)

Be sure to read the comments, too. Many excerpts from the book. My favorite:

The debate was reduced to two taunts that rang out like schoolyard mockery. The first might ahve been funny if it hadn’t been so pathetically frustrating: The documents are fake! They’re phony! They’re forgeries!

The other taunt was equally maddening: Prove the documents aren’t fake! Prove they’re real! That, as we’d known from the start, was impossible.

I guess Mary Mapes cannot understand the concept of ‘burden of proof.’
