the Kerry thing has moved through lots of people, both parties, to be completly unfounded.

I find myself sort of in agreement with this, just as I wonder exactly what it is that led Bush to be so slow in releasing what documentation he had. I guess it's either all fair game (in which case, both sides need to stop bitching that something shouldn't become "news" until there is acceptably precise evidence available), or the press should just go for it all the time, and let the chips fall where they may (i.e., the papers that consistently report too early and too wrong will eventually get that reputation, and become Enquirers. I would feel better about this second course if the Enquirer wasn't one of the most profitable newspapers in the world.
