Dan Rather said that CBS went to Burkett for the documents; "he did not come to us".
Who sent CBS in Burkett's direction?
Update
Allahpundit asks the same question. Woo hoo, I scooped him by 1 minute!
Update 2
I need to read Allahpundit more often.
They can't verify the "real" source's identity? Does that mean Burkett is still refusing to give them the name of the "real" source or that he gave them a name but it appears to be made up? Suddenly, I have this image of Burkett telling Rather that "Art Vandelay" is his source, then cut to Rather looking all credulous. ". . . And what is Mr. Vandelay's connection to the president?"Mr. Vandelay got them from his cousin Regina Filangy, who got them from Anastasia Beaverhausen....
Maybe the real source is Burkett's wife. Maybe she's is the "computer savy" one in the family and she typed them for him.[/silly speculation]

Sorry, Steve, I knew the other two pop-culture references were too recent for you. :-p
