If Kerry were elected in 2004 that would push Hillary back to 2012 for her next real chance at the presidency. Perhaps the source of this whole situation is the Bill & Hillary controlled DNC. The basis of the report was so blatant in its falsehood that Hillary and Bill knew some of the stain would seep over on John Kerry.

It could be a lot of people, I truly don't think Hillary will ever run because she won't get elected. Maybe as a VP but not president. I truly cannot see her ever winning the office.
I just think there are a lot of people who want to destroy Kerry before the election, it could be anyone. Hell, it could be CBS is trying to clean their own house and are using this to destroy Rather and give them the excuse for cleaning house.
It could be another news agency or media giant trying to destroy Viacom, as I stated earlier Viacom has been under massive attacks lately.
Truly, who knows? I just think that allowing this to destroy any chance Kerry has by blaming him is a farce. Like I said, if Faux News did the same exact thing to Kerry, I wouldn't blame Bush. I don't blame Bush for Swift.... I think it's obvious from the resignations there was internal stuff going on between the 2 but I truly don't think Bush had anything to do with it.
Bush and Kerry have huge egos, you have to to run for president. Neither believes they will lose, you can't believe that if you are truly trying to win. So, to plant something that would be found out so fast would be idiotic and wanting to lose. Therefore, that is why I believe Kerry and Bush's innocence on the subjects.
The papers in question weren't going to affect the election, BUT proving them false..... he he he would not only affect CBS's credibility but could affect the election, hurt the Dems, and do all kinds of damage.
So in that scenario one must look for who has the most to gain. Who has been the quietest (because the quietest group or person would probably be the one who setup the whole thing. If they came forward Rather tells everyone he got the info from them and all this backfires. If they remain quiet and bide their time telling Rather that they'll come forward if need be but not yet, then Rather is going to sit on his source.
