...Network producers, lawyers and Betsy West, a CBS News senior vice president, among others, met in a screening room to decide whether to broadcast the story about President Bush's record in the National Guard. Five days before, they had received copies of new and intriguing memos suggesting that Lieut. Bush had ignored a direct order to get a physical and that his superiors were pressured to "sugar coat" his evaluation. No one talked much about whether the documents could have come from a 1970s-era typewriter, and there was no strident dissent. But, says Josh Howard, the show...

Much of this evidence would melt away in the days to come. The family and the office typist of Lieut. Colonel Jerry Killian, the alleged author of the memos, as well as additional document experts, would say they did not look real. There would be calls for Rather's resignation. The Wall Street Journal would declare that the "liberal media establishment" had finally lost its hold on the national agenda. But behind the hysteria, this is a story about human errors whipped into a new-media news cycle. It is also a familiar tale of journalists wanting ever so badly...

...intend to fly during his stint in Alabama. New egregious claims about Bush's service are made in four memos released by CBS last Wednesday dating from 1972 and 1973. The network has not revealed how it obtained the documents but says they are from the personal files of Lieut. Colonel Jerry Killian, Bush's squadron commander in Texas, now deceased. If authentic, they demonstrate more favoritism toward Bush than previously indicated. In one document, Killian states that he and his superior, Major General Bobby Hodges, were pressured by Walter Staudt, the Texas National Guard commander, to "sugar coat...

...they can be found, faithful Iraqi recruits are proving difficult to retain. Iraqi commanders working alongside the American forces walk a dangerous line, trying to convince their neighbors they are patriots, not traitors. Painted on a concrete blast wall outside Marine headquarters at Camp Fallujah is a portrait of Lieut. Colonel Suleiman Hamad al-Marawi, a former commander of the Fallujah-based 506th Battalion of the U.S.-backed Iraqi Civil Defense Corps (ICDC). Last month al-Marawi was kidnapped with another Iraqi lieutenant colonel when insurgents overran two Iraqi army positions. Six days later, his body was found, still...

...where the alliance is currently active, to affirm France's abiding commitment to NATO. But underneath the irony is real iron: the Minister has solid military facts to flaunt. In Pristina, she attended the formal handover of command of Kosovo's more than 18,000 NATO peacekeepers to French Lieut. General Yves de Kermabon. Then she flew to Kabul to meet troops under French Lieut. General Jean-Louis Py, who last month took charge of NATO's 10,000-strong peacekeeping mission there. Now there are roughly twice as many European troops deployed outside the E.U. and NATO countries...
