""There are rumors here that if there are any real documents, they are hand-written notes from Killian that someone like Burkett was holding, and that instead of using the hand-written notes, someone typed them up to look more official," says the CBS News producer." That would still be forgery because 1) CBS and the original source attempted to represent these documents and genuine. 2) it means somebody re-produced Killian's signature on these documents to add to their credability.
If CBS had said "these documents have been re-typed for reading clarity" the damage would be greatly reduced. We would still be picking apart bogus information, but we wouldn't have a case of CBS putting forged documents on the air.

Somehow, I do think that point was raised by the CBS corporate counsel. Right before they said to Dan, 'So these are forgeries. Hmmm.'
