Maureen Orth was on Good Morning America this morning.  Of course, the segment was rife with Tom Cruise categorically denies the story and the COS says this absolutely is completely 100 percent false disclaimers, but Orth is a formidable journalist with a long standing good reputation.  She is the widow of Tim Russert, FYI.  

Elizabeth Vargas asked some good questions of her, such as if Bonani was with Cruise for three months, where are the photos?  Orth said that she was told that when the relationship ended, the photos were taken away. Apparently, the relationship occurred while Tom was filming War of the Worlds.  Orth said she asked to interview Tom for the article, but he refused.  Orth said she has too many credible sources, with corroborating details, for the story to be false.  She said that the sources were vetted, fact-checked, gone over by the legal department, and she stands by her article 100 percent.  

20/20 will do a special on it Friday night.
