While conceding that the statements were made, Brokaw now > claims that the idea that Rather was "Rummy's vessel" was simply how NBC > tried to explain CBS's better access to Watergate info.

It was (a) "wrong" to > let it pop out; or (b) that what he first claimed to be true, that Rather > was "Rummy's vessel," was actually something he don't know to be true, > and thus it was wrong to imply that it was; or (c) that it was just not > true ??? > > Brokaw's backpedaling sounds like a vague, mealy-mouthed attempt to > scramble the meaning and content of what he said, caught behind the > scene, in a fashion that clearly implied matter-of-fact knowledge.
