Become?????
Well, of course! That was the idea! They APPEAR to be the same. But the details regarding the fonts, spacing, sperscript, etc., give the lie to the "appearance."
Yeah, that's a real good way to authenticate documents. They look ok to us! Let's go with them!
Wouldn't it be lovely if not only they turned out to be fraudulent, but where they come from is found out?
Now just WHERE could those false docs smearing Bush have come from?
If the DNC is behind this, Kerry is toast.
I just think it's so amazing that the new media is forcing the OLD media to work harder now. First the Swiftees, now Rather-gate. Neither story would ever have appeared in the MSM if not for blogs, Fox News and Free Republic!!!
A new day is dawning, and on that day, Dan Rather is unemployed (wearing a turkey suit?)
Well, CBS's strategy is clear. They are going to blame whoever gave them the documents. They are going to play the victim. They have no choice. Firing Dan Rather would be like the Catholic Church firing the Pope.

"In addition, people who knew Killian well have confirmed that the memos are genuine."
I don't think the people who knew Killian were closer to him than his widow and son and they say the memos are fake.
CBS is just throwing out stuff to cover up their incredibly stupid story.
"Although I lied my ass off, I was parenthicly correct." Or some such crap.
-the Democrats cooked up these cheesy forgeries
-knowing they would soon be exposed
-it's now a front-page scandal (Washington Post A-1 tomorrow, I hear)
-this keeps "Bush National Guard service questionable?" meme in the spotlight (it was amazing hearing how this is being reported on ABC radio - they spend 60 seconds describing what the memos purport to show and then at the end there's some vagueness about how "some are questioning the authenticity" of them...
-Dems did this knowing that "National Guard 1970s" being on the front pages - whatever the details - just isn't good for Bush.
Just think about it.
Somewhere, at this very moment, a CBS supply clerk is trying to locate an IBM Executive typewriter to try and make more realistic "originals".
Co Conspirator with whom. The Kerry Campaign, or MoveOn.Org.
The cover-ups always worse than the crime. Danny Boy needs to come clean and apologize. The DNC might quit doing his job for him, but they'll come back. Back with lots of stuff for him to report on...
I'd like someone in authority at CBS to say that under oath.
And, I'd like him to be jailed immediately after for lying to the court.
Most people do not know the large number of deliberate design decisions that go into making a commercial typeface, and the fact that designers are typically very much aware of how corresponding decisions have been made in competing typefaces. All those specific characteristics and design decisions are on display in the CBS documents, much like in a fingerprint.
It will be easy to locate expert witnesses who spent a decade or more or designing and editing fonts for major manufacturers, who can testify to the history of fonts in office equipment, and the design characteristics that distinguish them.
When asked if the names of the experts were Shemp, Curly, Moe or Larry, CBS responded NO COMMENT
Does anyone know, is CBS still planning to run the Bush/Guard story on this Sunday's 60 Minutes?
