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."

Yes it has been proven. He bragged about it on Hardball. Just do a FR search for Hackworth.
Naaaah, you can just lay there. It's warm, at first. :)
What did the OETR stand for on the CYA memo?
Hackworth is definately who handed over the pics. Hackworth was contacted by a family member of one of the picture takers after he sent dozens of letters to Senators and Congress critters with no response. Hillary was even on the list :-)
Because the "original" is a nice crisp MS Word Doc? Now shredded into many pieces?
I'd like to B*t*hslap Tom Harkin into the next century.
Did you know she had something to do with CBS' reporting on the James Byrd incident and almost went to jail over it?
It's amazing, isn't it? Their audacity to spit in our faces just stuns me; who will they put out to claim the docments are not frauds, Joe Biden?
Midnight November 3 is going to be one of the sweetest moments in our lives.
Yes, he is.
And Ma Richards.
And Molly Ivins.
And John Moore.
And a cast of thousands.
I hope you're right.
Right now it looks like Barnes and his group of Texans were directly involved in the conspiracy to pass off this forgery. Hackworth may have been involved in a hand-off, or to more accurately use football-speak, a lateral, in the chain of custody.
Ultimately the public deserves to know each source going back to whomever claims to have pulled the documents directly from Killian's *personal files*.
LoL! I didn't think about that but they prob. would/should have to shred the "original" fake!
Something tells me that the documents were meant to be exposed, and Clinton's dirt devil's are in the process of Submarining the Kerry?Edwards campaign.
I have seen a few of these presidential contest and I have never seen one run as poorly as John Kerry's has been.
John Kerry obviously depends on his handlers to coach him on the latest DNC talking points, and so far his campaign has been the most unfocused campaign I have seen in my life
No I didn't
Their jig is up.
This Rather/Kitty Kelly slur is a last ditch effort "Hail Mary" from a weak armed quarterback. First week of September
A Dukakis II smackdown will be a VICTORY for the Dems.
Howlin, there is no PRO KERRY energy anywhere in America. I've watched his rallies. Watch the black vote fade away, day by day.
Everyone has to take a pee every now and then, and especially a drunk.
You'd think so, but...
Cody Shearer, is a syndicated columnist with media contacts in MSM. Madeline Albright and the other Clintonoids are John Kerry's "advisers". I wonder if Strobb is also "advising" Kerry?
Strobe Talbott is the president of the Brookings Institution (www.brookings.edu). He was deputy secretary of state in the Clinton administration and the first director of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization.
Notable quotables...
# "It would have been outrageous if he [Clinton] had been done in by the draft thing because that was a bum rap. The word 'draft dodging does not belong in any sentence with Bill Clintons name in it."
-- Time Editor-at-Large (and Clinton friend) Strobe Talbott, March 7 Inside Washington.
(Within a year, Talbott was a member of the Clinton administration as Deputy Secretary of State.)
# "Bill Clinton did not do anything illegal. There were, most young Americans at that time that were in his income and educational background did exactly what he did. They tried to find some way to avoid service."
-- Wall Street Journal Washington Bureau Chief Al Hunt on CNNs Capital Gang, February 8.
# "I think the more people who read the letter, the actual draft letter, the more people will come back to Clinton....One of the sentences in the letter he gets blasted for is that he wanted to keep his political viability. Well, he was what, in his early twenties? He was running for Congress when he was 25. What happened to the notion 'I want to grow up to be President? Thats a good thing."
-- Time Deputy Washington Bureau Chief Margaret Carlson on Inside Washington, February 15.
