William Pitt and the DUmmies are saying Rather buried the charges. They look rather funny on their knees for Rather.

As one who grew up with "who" and "whom," I react sharply to the latter-day error of substituting "that." Thus I was struck by phrasing in the "memo" of August 1, 1972, "... qualified Vietnam pilots
that have rotated...."
I don't believe anyone would have written this in 1972. It would have been, "...pilots who have rotated...."

Thanks for the summary... hopefully you won't have to worry about Dan TheNewsMan's misconduct much longer!

Very well done. Thank you.

We're looking especially for military sources regarding things like abbreviations, etc. The bottom line in this case will be provided by forensic experts that will provide proof that no typewriter had the combination of features used in that memo.
Rather's defense is childishly naive. Yes, Times New Roman has been around since the 1930's......On Linotype machines:

History will judge Dan Rather as either a scoundrel or a fool.
For subjective military trivia.........
One memo had the date written as (let's use today's date):
11 September, 2004.
Proper military dating would have been:
11 September 2004
or
11 SEP 04
The date would never have had a comma after the date.
Another eye-catcher was an officer simply putting a rank in the signature space without then putting the branch of service right after it.

The date would never have had a comma after the date. Typo.
The date would never have had a comma after the month.
