A handwriting expert says the two signatures on purported Texas National Guard memos aired by CBS News this week are not those of President Bush's squadron commander, as asserted by "60 Minutes."
Until now, press scrutiny of the memos supposedly written by the late Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian focused on the finding that the documents were, in the opinion of experts, produced by computers not yet in use in the early 1970s.
Eugene P. Hussey, a certified forensic document examiner in Washington state, said yesterday there is another flaw in the CBS memos. Mr. Hussey studied the known signatures of Col. Killian on Air Force documents, and two signatures on documents dated 1972 and 1973 that aired on "60 Minutes" Wednesday night.
"It is my limited opinion that Killian did not sign those documents," Mr. Hussey told The Washington Times. He said he uses the phrase "limited opinion" because he does not have the original documents. He, like other experts interviewed by the press, relied on copies of originals first obtained by CBS. The White House then distributed copies of the memos in what is said was the interest of full disclosure.

The Times provided Mr. Hussey with copies of the CBS documents, which he dubbed Q-1-3, and records known to have been signed by Col. Killian, (K-1-3).
"It is my opinion based on the examination of the Q-1 through Q-3 and K-1 through K-3, that Jerry B. Killian probably did not sign his name to Q-1 and his initial to Q-3," Mr. Hussey said in a signed letter to The Times. "As to the authenticity of the CBS documents, that is Q-1 through Q-3, [they] appear to be product of a computer, rather than a typewriter."

Oh, come on now. Lazy, stoned, and drunk people do get off the couch.
Everyone has to take a pee every now and then, and especially a drunk.
I think they could prove malice to a jury.
This game just moved into another level altogether . . . if the sig is a forgery. And if AG Ashcroft gives it the nod.
Hey, this is fun.
CBS never had the originals; only photocopies.
the AWB has NOTHING to do with automatic weapons. semi only.
wake up and quit spreading BS.
These DU'ers just pee on the couch.
gee you need to lighten up
Seems to me that the answer for CBS and the DNC is real simple.
Come up with the orginal documents. Have them examined by the FBI or a reputable Document analysis team and be done with it.
It's either that or admit that they are forgeries and then someone needs to go to jail.
Is there ANYTHING correct at all in and about these memos? It doesn't appear to be,IMHO. :-)
A Du-couch (french pronunciation: dooo-coooosh)
John French Kerry bed when Tayraysah's on the warpath.
That's because the make things up to make themselves feel better and believe the lies they tell themselves.SICKOS!
I agree fully with the rest of your comments.
I get your drift.
They are defaming the entire Killian family, IMO. The father is being used to smear the President, without his consent when he, in fact, very much liked him, thought he was a good man and a good pilot. A dead man can't defend his reputation but his family can.
I agree 100%...... When I heard the White House saw these forgeries and said nothing about them, other than to hand them out to the Press!.... Once again I was reminded that we have adults in the White House who know how strum the democrats, and the main stream media, like a cheap guitar.
I believe this incident will go down as the straw that broke the Back of the Kerry Campaign, unless of course Madeline Albright was correct when she wondered out loud if President Bush would drag Osama bin Laden out of the White House basement 3 weeks before election day :-)
Now that's an interesting sentence.
