Look, these memos that they showed have no credibility at all. The only one who can confirm it is dead....and even he would seem bogus. Look how unprofessional he is in the documents. He makes unsubstantiated allegations. THey are not in standard form. And the only guy that RATher had look at them...works for him.

Look at the documents...they are on this cbs story
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/06/politics/main641481.shtml

First off...they say these documents are from personal files. THAT SHOWS THEY ARE BOGUS. IF they were military docs...they would not just be in some dead man's personal file. They would be in the AF Records. They would also be copied to Bush's files.

The documents showed last night....are bogus. ON TOP OF THAT....NOTHING IN THOSE DOCUMENTS SHOW THAT BUSH DID NOT MEET HIS REQUIRED DRILL POINTS.

Developing Brief Partial Summary of the Forgery Elements of the CBS/Rather Faked letter
Insightful Comments Made by FReepers
=================================================

1-- proportional spacing did not exist
2 -- superscripts did not exist
3 - "th" single element did not exist
4 - Smart quotes. Curved apostrophes and quotation marks were not available
5-The blurriness of the copy indicates it was recopied dozens of times, tactic of forgers
6--Signature block. Typical authentic military signature block has name, then rank, then on the next line the person's position. This just has rank beneath the name. 7--Margins. These look like a computer's unjustified default, not the way a person typing would have done it.
8 -- Date usually with three letters
9 - words run over consistent with word processor
10 - Times Roman font did not exist then (per Haas Atlas)
11 - signature looks faked
12 - no errors
13 - no letterhead
14 - exact match for Microsoft Word Processor
