I expect to see the headline:

President Bush's Former Commander: "He was an ass...Continued on page D24.

Doubts have been raised about the validity memos, with at least one document expert suggesting that they may have been produced by computer programs that hadn't been invented at that time.

Oh, well played. When someone points out that there are many, many document experts saying that they're probable fakes, AP can say, "Well we said 'at least one.'"

And the AP conveniently fails to mention that their very own document expert has said they were forged.

A good companion piece could be title, "Former Kerry
Commander States Kerry was an A*S*S".

Meaning, of course, a donkey. Just like the Dem logo.

The AP's idea of balance is to mix lies with truth. Pravda is rapidly becoming more trustworthy by comparison.

Something else missed by the libs who know nothing about the military that in small units, a "problem child" would become quite notorious. Anyone refusing a direct order as the Dems charge would become well known in the unit and up through administrative channels.

He's STILL an asset! Kerry OTOH, is a liability.

And you can bet that any written document regarding insubbordination would find its way into the Bush ANG file.

They'll probably print it like this:

President Bush's Former Commander: "He was an asset.

The MSM have a lot of experience with superscripts.

I want to see the headline: "Dan Rather stands behind forgeries."

I've noticed the MO of the MSM is to make a statement that although is "technically acurate", implies a lie. Their are masters of inuendo. And it works, because most people don't think analytically. All they ever take away from a report is overall inuendo.

Rather claims that he's a real asset, but he's only half-right.

Man, this blows a "Texas Sized Hole" in Ben Barnes "I got Bush into the Guard" idiocy.

Was ANYTHING in the 60 minutes piece true?

Is there currently ANY expert who will verify that the documents are authentic? I believe all the experts have now qualified their answers so much that none of them are willing to stand up and say, that without a doubt and on their professional reputation, the documents are authentic. Is there even one expert willing to say so?
