The evidence has been found in a previously lost report drawn up at the time for the Spanish monarchs as they became worried by growing rumours of Columbus' barbarity and avarice. The document was written by a member of an order of religious knights, the Order of Calatrava, who had been asked to investigate the allegations against Columbus by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, who ruled Spain together at the time.

The report, by Francisco de Bobadilla, lay undiscovered in a state archive in the Spanish city of Valladolid until last year. Bobadilla had already been named governor of the Indies, replacing Columbus, at the time of the report.

Was it faxed from Kinko's?

"Bobadilla had already been named governor of the Indies, replacing Columbus, at the time of the report."
Well, writing a report on someone whom one is replacing is a really juicy proposition. Since one would need to place one's own cronies everywhere and to push out the cronies of one's [to be] disgraced predecessor, the report has to be as damning and sweeping as possible.

CBS news was not involved and the document bashes Columbus and Not President Bush. Therefore, it was not faxed from Kinko's and stands a very good chance of being authentic.
