James Rosen just reported that the Pentagon questions the use of a PO Box on a memo, and that the PO Box may never have been used by that unit saying it seems highly unlikely that they would have PO Box containing sequential numbers. Standard military practice has always been to place the actual physical address on the letter head.
Honestly, it looks like this was done with no research, in about ten minutes. The docs passed through the Kerry Kampaign and through CBS over SIX WEEKS and NONE of them noticed a thing.
I'm not sure the Left could win this election if they really tried.
same to you fargin icehole
Somebody should ask DAN RATHER, IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE...........................
In fact, the letterhead must include the actual 'physical address' of the unit.
Hello fox?:
Go to the smithsonian and find the military curator and see if they have military typwriters from the era!
Is there a former quartermaster who would know what typewriters the military used in that era?
This is SO easy to investigate!
someone said yesterday that they saw this same address on docs from Bush to the ANG. Not sure if it was true, but it was allegedly checked out and found to be correct.
Great - the Pentagon is now involved...someone needs to be behind bars for forging FedGov documents!
I love that movie too! ("He shot my hair!")
I looked at this yesterday:

It seems that the P.O. Box is real, though I agree it seems more than weird that it is the "address of record" on the document.
SHes gone from suck to blow!
The lunatic liar who created these false documents is a Dead Man Walking. His fellow libs will turn on him like jackals turn on a wounded Jackal in their pack.
He/she/it should turn itself into the police and beg for police protection.
Edwards just challenged Bush to comment on this hoax. I guess he should be careful what he asks for because Bush can say that the Pentagan also believes Dan Rather mislead the voting public for personal ideological purposes.
Also all officer signature blocks on my documents carry a designation following their rank of TX ANG - that is missing form the CBS faked memos
I recall seeing a post or two yesterday questioning the PO box number. Were you one of those?
Something else that bugs me is that expression "running interference." Was that a common expression at the time?
Mmmmmmmmm...imploding Democrats.
I am mad.
How did they get my top secret password?
I thought the use of the Beverly Hills zip code was clever.
"Whoever forged these documents is pretty darn stupid."
Sure looks whoever did this is going to have to stand behind Dan Rather in the stupid line.
Yesterday was the best day on FR in a long time. It harkens back to the days of Quidum, blue dresses, DNA, the meaning of IS.
Definitely an A day!
