because there were so many unanswered questions and so many on the 'left' more than willing to ignore the fact that someone, knowing the information Dan Rather had on Bush was true and probably could not be refuted, decided not to deny it, but instead, to throw something else into the equation, pre-meditated a deception with the help of many individuals who were never required to reveal why they did it, and who was the orchestrator of the plot.

As Patrick Fitzgerald pointed out when he indicted Scooter Libby, he could not pursue the real criminals because Libby was 'throwing sand in his eyes'. But Fitzgerald did hold the deceiver responsible. In the Dan Rather case, the deceivers got away with their deception and the blame has been placed on the deceived. There has always been something very wrong with that. The public's right to know the facts was impeded by CBS's refusal to uncover the nest of plotters which many believe went all the way to the WH.
