CBS has appointed two investigators to the Memogate story. According to Reuters, it's former U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh and former Associated Press chief executive Louis Boccardi. Considering how close it is to the election – I have to wonder how long this investigation will take? Will the results come out as they’re discovered or all at once? Considering all of the questions left unanswered by CBS this may take some time.

Still, this story may be allowed to die without CBS addressing a few obvious, but unanswered MAJOR questions.
Here's a start.
Who or what caused CBS to contact Burkett?
Did Burkett originally indicate to CBS that he would not identify the source of the documents? (No questions asked by CBS?)
If Burkett indicated George Conn as the source, did CBS verify with Conn?
Does anyone know how CBS came to the conclusion that Burkett was an "unimpeachable source?"
Was Lockhart the only Kerry aide contacted by CBS? If not, who else did CBS contact?
Answers here MIGHT fill some of the gaping hole left by CBS' "apology" / explanation.
