Oh, yes he did!
They are running out of experts. Unless the 'expert' is named Lanny Davis, the Dems are going have a hard time finding one that will lie through his teeth. Every expert so far has concluded they are fake.
This is a new angle under 'factual problems':
Factual problems. A CBS document purportedly from Killian ordering Bush to report for his annual physical, dated May 4, 1972, gives Bush's address as "5000 Longmont #8, Houston." This address was used for many years by Bush's father, George H.W. Bush. National Guard documents suggest that the younger Bush stopped using that address in 1970 when he moved into an apartment, and did not use it again until late 1973 or 1974, when he moved to Cambridge, Mass., to attend Harvard Business School.
Because it's a criminal offense to forge MILITARY documents and it's a criminal offense to forge the signature of a Military Officer ... and to do so with the goal of changing a Federal Election
I don't know who did it .. But that person is in a World of Trouble
Wow....
Perfect article - too bad they dumped it to A8.
The CBS expert had to have been scared - if he was considered as being on record authenticating an obvious forgery, he'd find it difficult to find any future work as an expert.
Actually that diagram looks like the home plate of evil....
If the Washington Post prints it, even if it's four days late, does that mean that it finally exists? Or do we need the paper of record, The New York Times, to fess up too?
Safire doesn't count.
Something like that but I'd rather he take my bet of $20 that they are fakes, now that would be tangible..His reputation right now isn't worth squat.
Good article, hit most of the highpoints, now we need follow up on the source to really nail Rather..obviously the source is not unimpeachable...nor a good forger either..
Anyone have CBS policy memos on vetting articles?
Thanks .. I wasn't sure if I heard him right
I'll have to review my agnosticism. There may just be a God, and a just God at that, after all.
Okay, where is everyone who was demanding that GWB denounce the documents as forgeries.
Strategery! He let the MSM do the work for him. Now he can use this the next time the Rats try to smear him.
Stylistic problems which Freepers pointed out already.
"Stylistic differences. To outsiders, how an officer wrote his name and rank or referred to his military unit may seem arcane and unimportant. Within the military, however, such details are regulated by rules and tradition, and can be of great significance. The CBS memos contain several stylistic examples at odds with standard Guard procedures, as reflected in authenticated documents.
In memos previously released by the Pentagon or the White House, Killian signed his rank "Lt Col" or "Lt Colonel, TexANG," in a single line after his name without periods. In the CBS memos, the "Lt Colonel" is on the next line, sometimes with a period but without the customary reference to TexANG, for Texas Air National Guard.
An ex-Guard commander, retired Col. Bobby W. Hodges, who CBS originally cited as a key source in authenticating its documents, pointed to discrepancies in military abbreviations as evidence that the CBS memos are forgeries. The Guard, he said, never used the abbreviation "grp" for "group" or "OETR" for an officer evaluation review, as in the CBS documents. The correct terminology, he said, is "gp" and "OER." "
CBS had a Word-wrote malfunction.

I agree. Stick to your guns Dan. Keep lying, no matter what, keep lying. At this rate he will do for us what no conservative could ever do. Discredit 60 Minutes, the supposed "gold" standard of investigative journalism. Hang tough Dan. "Courage." I love this. Hang tough Dan.
We have to knock a few nodes out of there to get it down to an axis ;)
