Yahoo! News - Kerry Aide Talked to Retired Guard Officer
Joe Lockhart denied any connection between the presidential campaign and the papers. Lockhart, the second Kerry ally to confirm contact with retired Texas National Guard officer Bill Burkett, said he made the call at the suggestion of CBS producer Mary Mapes.
There's no way Rather will take the fall but it looks like producer Mary Mapes will.
UPDATE: Looks like Neophyte Pundit and I are on the same page (of course, it looks like he beat me to the punch).
