War on Iraq: CBS Owes Ed Bradley an Apology

I think maybe CBS:

a) have General Westmoreland phobia, that is the whole NBC business was sued for the news department by the general when it aired its suspicions in retrospect of the Vietnam "debacle" after the fact, settled for undisclosed millions, over alleged misrepresentations of body counts reported by the people in charge. Its also reported in part on-line. I had a cousin who directed "Huntley and Brinkley" and was an award winning producer for NBC News, George Murray, who had to cancel their investigative journalism of the "common soldiers view" of the Vietnam (undeclared) War canceled by "higher-ups" I heard second hand from someone who attended his eulogy in the United Nations Chapel, from a letter he had to write to the crew who had risked their lives over there for quite a long time according to the eulogizer, also a long-time television journalist, Edwin Newman. George Murray's last contract was producing the coverage of both major parties conventions in 1976 for CBS, or

b) the report I heard on WNYC radio, that CBS's CEO's brother wanted to buy the Texas baseball team, then Governor Bush had to have, then sold to buy the former turkey farm he now lives on, an almost parody of the largest ranch owner in the great state of Texas, owned by a Bush of no relation, has the "higher-ups" in knots.

What I can't understand is that the press did print, at least in New York, when President Bush's loyalty was questioned, a letter that asked quite directly, if he could be let out six months earlier to attend Harvard Business School for an MBA. It's since been reported by the "Washington Post" (9/2006)

"The day he arrived in Baghdad, he met with Thomas C. Foley, the CPA official in charge of privatizing state-owned enterprises. (Foley, a major Republican Party donor, went to Harvard Business School with President Bush.) Hallen was shocked to learn that Foley wanted him to take charge of reopening the stock exchange."

"Are you sure?" Hallen said to Foley. "I don't have a finance background."

So I wouldn't be surprized if the Mass. Air Guard let him fly under the radar in a F-102 on the Fourth of July, an unconfirmed sighting. I wonder however if the wrong letter was discussed rather than the "MBA letter".
