If Nightline is saying they are forgeries, then CBS hasn't a prayer. But I will believe it when I see it.

I've pointed out on several threads what to me is the smoking gun (amongst the many):

...others have noted that the wordwrap of a manual typewriter is different than a word processor.

But to analyze this facet more specifically, MSWORD wraps the current word when the end of a word passes the right margin, whereas a person typing manually finishes the word he is typing when the right-margin bell rings, and then does a carriage return. The net effect of the manual typewritten style is that, if one draws a vertical line at the bell-margin, that line should go through (intersect) the last word of every line of text.

Clearly, from the 1 AUG 1972 memo, NO SUCH VERTICAL LINE CAN BE CONSTRUCTED THAT INTERSECTS THE LAST WORD OF EVERY WRAPPED LINE OF TEXT!

For example, in paragraph 3, on a typewriter, we have to assume the right-margin bell rang while typing the word "and" on the 1st line. Yet, if that was the case, then on paragraph 2, the margin bell would have rang while typing the word "orders", and the subsequent word "for" should have appeared on the next, not the same, line.

Nightline will say the forgeries call into question any docs the Swift Boat Vets have into question. After all, if they are going to say the CBS docs against Bush are foregeries, it is only fair to say docs against Kerry might also be forged.

Any takers on this speculation?

Sounds like they are making excuses for CBS to me. Claiming that both sides are going negative.

He said he would proably have aired the piece too. What a joke.

It's disgusting and not worth listening to rest of the show.
