Are we absolutely certain that this statement is authentic? The blog community should rightfully attempt to authenticate the statement before it reports it as news lest we run into the same trap CBS News has run into. Let's be careful here folks.

Update: ok, nevermind, I just saw the president of CBS giving the statement. What I still have to question tho is the typo in the doc, none of the other views of the statement that I have seen on the news channels includes the typo. Plus, I heard a rumor that the statement was given orally which would lead me to question who made the typo.
