Haley is simply demonstrating that the famous memos could be created using a typewriter. At no point does he assert that the questioned memos are genuine.
CONCLUSIONS
Since current odds hold that the Bush memos are faked, the question of their authenticity turns to whether CBS should have known they were inauthentic – if, in fact, they are. In fact, there seems to be nothing in the memos that indicates they are faked. All evidence points toward a mechanical production process and away from a digital process.
Furthermore, the mechanical process seems to be consistent with typewriters used in the military at the time in question.
If I had been one of the experts advising CBS, I would have advised them that there is nothing physical in the memos implying they are not authentic. All indicators imply they are authentic. I would have told them that from my point of view, the memos are worthy of presenting to the public.
It has already been noted that Hailey's so-called demonstration lacks something important: a typewriter.
This is great ! - This BOZO actually forged the "th" in his own PDF file !
First of all, when creating a thread, make sure to use the same title as the originating story---it helps search for dupes.
Secondly, the latest thinking is this is NOT a forgery. The professor is quite clear about how he constructed his version of the memo.
His methods are fatally flawed but he is not misrepresenting himself.
