DNC News: McAuliffe: Will GOP Answer If They Know Whether Stone, Others Had Involvement With CBS Documents?

Seems that the GOP may have had a role in planting those 'forged documents' in CBS's hands. as you may recall the White House released the same documents around the same time without objection--then let surrogates bring it up. it this is true...it may be the gutsiest counter of a controversy i've ever heard of....

McAuliffe: Will GOP Answer If They Know Whether Stone, Others Had Involvement
With CBS Documents? Washington, D.C. - In response to false Republican accusations regarding the CBS documents, Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe issued this statement:

“In today’s New York Post, Roger Stone, who became associated with political ‘dirty tricks’ while working for Nixon, refused to deny that he was the source the CBS documents.

"Will Ed Gillespie or the White House admit today what they know about Mr. Stone’s relationship with these forged documents? Will they unequivocally rule out Mr.
Stone’s involvement? Or for that matter, others with a known history of dirty
tricks, such as Karl Rove or Ralph Reed?”

DNC News: Bush Campaign Gets a Case of Camera Shyness

Washington, DC— Facing questions about President Bush’s Guard Service and its own possible involvement with the disputed National Guard documents, the Republican National Committee has postponed a call scheduled to discuss the
issue this afternoon.

And, in the last several hours, the Bush campaign has also cancelled scheduled appearances by Dan Bartlett on cable networks this evening. These cancellations came as the Bush operatives refused to appear live alongside Kerry campaign official Joe Lockhart.

“It’s clear that even the Bush campaign is having a problem defending the President’s National Guard service,” said Democratic National Committee Spokesman Howard Wolfson. “The Bush campaign has decided to once again duck the tough questions and avoid real debate. Given the President’s National Guard service, I don’t blame them for being camera shy.”
