You guys may be wondering why I'm making such a big deal of this.
The reason is this: it hurts the credibility of the Killian forgery investigation if we go trotting off and practicing our newfound forgery-detection skills on every written document we see.
Why? Because honestly, we have acutally been WRONG about 50% of the time in the various conclusions we have drawn. For example, first there was the claim that typewriters couldn't do proportional spacing. FALSE (IBM Executive, for example). Second, there was the claim that typewriters couldn't do justification. FALSE (IBM Selectric Composer, for example). Then there was the claim that no printer could produce a small "th" (One of Bush's own records contradicts that, though it is important to not that it is not superscripted.)
So basically, even though our hunches were entirely justified, and have proven correct OVERALL, the fact remains that we've been throwing everything at these Killian documents to see what sticks; and not much of it is doing so. Fortunately, enough of it IS sticking that we're coming up with a winner.
But if we practice the same pseudo-science in all these other documents, we're going to come up short, guaranteed.
Kerry's certificates WERE NOT FORGED. They were obtained fraudulently, but they were not forged.
The BIG Deal in my mind is this citation was clearly produced at a later time. The BIG DEAL also is WHY? Was it to edit something out, like going behind hooch which in 1996 Kerry announced did not ever happen? Has anyone ever seen the Hyman citation prior to say, 2000? Has Kerry ever given an explanation to why he has THREE citations for the same award?
It may be useful though still to apply what has been learned thus far. It may help determine that things were added years later. I think it only makes sense to double check that nothing from Kerrys web page was done with Word certainly. I think it is a good excercise. The experts are pouring over the Killian docs now. It will only be a few days and a consensus will be reached. It think we know what it will be. I see no harm in a little exam of Kerrys records as well.
