I read it in one of Greg Palast's books. He reported on the story for the BBC, and knew what evidence Rather's team started with because he was one of the people who supplied it to them. You can also still find reporting on the story online from The Guardian if you look for it.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Palast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Palast for more on the reporter that I named.
And lest you think that this kind of dirty and underhanded trick would have been off limits, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift_Vets_and_POWs_for_Truth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift_Vets_and_POWs_for_Truth for a more widely known story of the underhanded tricks used by Bush supporters in that particular election.

- btilly 7y agoLet's see. I pointed you at an author who is a reporter for the BBC. I am not sure which of his books it is in, but that shouldn't be too hard to find out. (My guess is Armed Madhouse.) He lays out the interviews and documents that were sufficient for the BBC to report the story as fact. This is all verifiable. According to you, this is "just innuendo". And therefore you have dismissed it out of hand. The BBC is not in the habit of publishing as fact what is "just innuendo".
