Thanks palmer, looking forward to your analysis.

In the meantime, should we not discuss why Team Obama (or Bounel or whatever) released this composite when Fukino previously has attested to the fact that she has seen the original onfile and it was half hand written and half type written.

Where is the image of that document?

I agree, the MSNBC interview clearly contradicts the cert we were given in April. I’ve been looking at the 3 images (WHPDF, AP high res, and Guthrie) and found a few items that don’t support my sequence of events and some that do. The R in BARACK (box 1a) is grayscale on both the WHPDF and the Guthrie snap and black on the AP HiRes. The Guthrie shot is low res so it’s hard to tell, but it looks like the Guthrie image could not just be simply the AP HiRes printed onto green hashed paper. It’s not clear though, because the Guthrie image is so poor.

For a counterexample to the 'R' above, the 'K' in Kenya supports my theory. In the AP HiRes it is dark. In the second Guthrie snap (she took a narrower snap that missed some critical components like the rubber stamp) it is clearly dark. But in the WHPDF it is light and grayscale. The reason for that is that the postprocessing diddling that the WH did, picked up "enya" as letters, but left the 'K' behind because it overlapped the vertical form line.

So the proper sequence for that evidence is AP HiRes white background -> print to green hash paper -> seal and show to Guthrie -> scan back into computer -> diddle.
