Dan Rather Starts To Prove CBS Fired Him To Please Republicans

When Dan Rather filed suit against CBS 14 months ago — claiming, among other things, that his former employer had commissioned a politically biased investigation into his work on a "60 Minutes" segment about President Bush's National Guard service — the network predicted the quick and favorable dismissal of the case, which it derided as "old news."So far, Mr. Rather has spent more than $2 million of his own money on the suit.

McCain did not elaborate who the United States would be fighting. But he did warn the crowd to be ready for the ramifications of current and future battles."
