Per FoxNews: Pentagon questioning PO Box Number

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.

...and I see your schwartz is as big as mine.

this whole thingy is approaching "Ludicrous Speed"
LOL
The Capt.

I'm having so much fun today!

The longer Dan Rather holds out, the longer the story will play out.

Talk about being blown up by his own petard.

Seen Thumb Wars?

"...I am ..... YOUR MOTHER!"

Sorry to get off topic. Does feel like we're up against the dark helmet man, though.

Like "12345 Qwerty Street".

Funny, you don't look Druish.

What I find so incredibly unbelievable is that no other documents are available from Killian from the same timeframe, so that a comparison can be made.

It increases exponentially. A logarithmic curve is decreasingly positive along its length. =)

P.O. Box OLD-MEDIA54321BOOM!

Obscure SpaceBalls reference.

Not obscure at all. If I remember correctly it was ...

One! (Anguished pregnant pause)

Two! (Another anguished look with a contorted face and an extended period of contemplation)

Three!

PING!!!!!

[Seeking the truth]

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.

You know, this just may be the work of the "men in gray suits"!

Proportional type is impossible with a typewriter. So is the centering that they did. Also the use of a lowercase 'L' for a one, which is just a way to trick MS Word into not superscripting '1st'. There is more evidence here of forgery than their was for murder at the OJ trail.

Sorry, but you are not correct. The IBM Executive model, which was in common use during the 1970s, was capable of all of these things. It was famous for having proportional typing capabilities. Centering was as simple as setting a tab stop and using the correct keys to backspace half of the line length.

Now, would anyone go to this trouble for a memo? I doubt it. And I do think the docs are forged. But let's all stay clear on the real evidence, and not end up falling into a trap here.

My signature is more flamboyant on a good day!!

Another joke I found buried in the documents is the subject of one of the memos: "CYA."

Agreed. CYA was left as the "clue" by the forger. This use of the term is too modern.

[Paraclete]

forgive the pun, but this whole thing looks "bush-league."

The opposition hates GW so bad, they've lost all sense of reason and judgement. Reminds me of Captain Queeg. I'll bet lot's of marbles are rolling at the DNC.

[najida]

Anybody keeping a list of all the forgery indicators?

'cuz it seems like these guys may be responsible

[True Capitalist]

Even dumber than my brother-in-law, and that's saying a lot.

You think your brother-in-law's dumb? Sight unseen I'll gladly trade you my brother-in-law and a case of your favorite adult beverage for him.

Don't aviation units in all services use the name of their airfield as their location? A squadron is a relatively small unit and I think it unlikely to have had multiple HQs. What AFB did the 111th fly out of? And wouldn't that,rather than a Houston PO Box, be their address?

[television is just wrong]

Lol, Love that address:

"Texas Air National Guard

P. O. Box 234567 HangRather, Texas"
