CW,
I don't know why CBS hired ****** Thornburgh... he most certainly won't sugarcoat anything. Here's the bios of the two who will investigating. Rather and Mapes should both be very afraid.
"The Honorable ****** Thornburgh, former governor of Pennsylvania and United States attorney general under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and Louis D. Boccardi, retired president and chief executive officer of the Associated Press, will comprise the independent review panel that will examine the process by which a recent "60 Minutes Wednesday" report was prepared and broadcast."
