Mapes Continues To Investigate Memogate; “I Don’t Think I Committed Bad Journalism”

“No one has proved that the documents were not authentic.”

“I don’t think I committed bad journalism. I really don’t.”

“I did not have it in for George Bush.”

In her first book interview, scheduled to air on Wednesday’s Good Morning America, Mapes “says she is continuing to investigate the source of the controversial documents whose authenticity was seriously questioned by the CBS panel.”
