Looks like he was questioning that they were a forgery to me.

No I did read them, I was pointing out the fact that they were considered forgeries which those articles all said.

These documents have not been proven false yet. So CBS should still be able to stand by their story, in fact they have an obligation to. Because if they are true and they give up trying to prove their truth then we have let a travesty happen.
There are two types of errors in stats accepting something that is false and not accepting something that is true. The later is much worse than the first. The same is true for our facts. So let's let the discussion about the validity of the documents continue until there is concrete proof one way or the other.
If you haven't read it lately check out CBS's case they update it daily.

First the documents went through the CIA before the white house. Second before the address Bush was told not to include the niger documents because there was suspicion of forgery.
