Prudent Dan Rather

KING: Are you saying the story might be correct?
RATHER: Well, I'm saying a prudent person might take that view.
KING: Do you have that view?
RATHER: Well, I'm saying a prudent person might take that view

What the panel did say quite specifically on page 14 of the report is this:

The Panel has not been able to conclude with
absolute certainty whether the Killian documents are authentic or forgeries.
However, the Panel has identified a number of issues that raise serious questions about the authenticity of the documents and their content.

The use of the words "absolute certainty" in the first
sentence and "serious questions" in the second would lead any "prudent" person
to the exact opposite conclusion Rather suggests.
