CBS Being Sued Over Memo Scandal

In a new twist to the CBS memo saga, it was announced that CBS is being sued by the former TexAirNatGrd officer who supplied CBS and the Kerry campaign with the forged documents.

According to reports, the individual is claiming that he warned CBS that they had to verify the authenticity of the documents. The lawsuit accuses CBS of libel and defamation of character.

He further accused CBS of violating a (non-binding) confidentiality agreement in which CBS promised to keep the source's identity a closely guarded secret. When the story began to collapse, the agreement unraveled as well.

If this man was so worried about his identity or character being questioned on national TV, he should have said NO to the interview. He MADE that bed, now he should SLEEP in it!
