If they win there will be no attack ads with it come election time.<BR/><BR/>Having the tape declared doctored also potentially creates the possibility of libel on the parts of the persons using it to set up motives/actions/innuendo etc surrounding what was said on the tape. With proof that the tape has been doctored it becomes a large grey area as to what you can say about it given that it MAY have been edited to slander. A person may not be able to defend the repetition of the words (and their suggested meaning) as true (the standard defense for slander).<BR/><BR/><BR/>And mushroom is right... There is actual important things going on that are unrelated to paranoid ramblings of shadows and scandals under every pebble.Barcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797062032956713967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-25158411547704014502008-06-05T01:51:00.000-04:002008-06-05T01:51:00.000-04:00The strategy is to try to get the headline CADMAN ...The strategy is to try to get the headline <BR/><BR/>CADMAN TAPE DOCTORED: EXPERTSMark Richard Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331995640397477486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-57242457748416720092008-06-04T22:17:00.000-04:002008-06-04T22:17:00.000-04:00Mushroom, if they resurrected the Cadman story to ...Mushroom, if they resurrected the Cadman story to deflect from the GM story, well, that's an interesting communications strategy to be sure.<BR/><BR/>You're getting to close to the truth gayle...<BR/><BR/>I actually meant the motive of the alleged tape doctorer/s, Jim.
