Former secretary says she didn't type memos 04:10 PM CDT on Tuesday, September 14, 2004
By PETE SLOVER / The Dallas Morning News
HOUSTON The former secretary for the Texas Air National Guard colonel who supposedly authored memos critical of President Bushs Guard service said Tuesday that the documents are fake, but that they reflect real documents that once existed.
Marian Carr Knox, who worked from 1956 to 1979 at Ellington Air Force Base in Houston, said she prided herself on meticulous typing, and the memos first disclosed by CBS News last week were not her work.
These are not real, she told The Dallas Morning News after examining copies of the disputed memos for the first time. Theyre not what I typed, and I would have typed them for him.
Mrs. Knox, 86, who spoke with precise recollection about dates, people and events, said she is not a supporter of Mr. Bush, who she deemed unfit for office and selected, not elected.
I remember very vividly when Bush was there and all the yak-yak that was going on about it, she said.

I think it's laughable.
Now Juan Williams says Kerry is ready to get back on message and attack Bush's record. Duh!
She is lying. NOT about the typing part. Because its obvious they did not come from his office.
SHE IS LYING THAT THE FORGERIES REPRESENT DOCS THAT WERE ONCE AROUND.
Its not possible. One of the memos recognizes Staudt as having put pressure on some. BUT HE HAD RETIRED A YEAR AND HALF EARLIER! Something CBS won't address.
AND BUSH WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO HIS FLIGHT PHYSICAL IN THE WRONG MONTH. AND HE WOULD NOT BE IN TROUBLE FOR EVEN THE MYTH MAY DATE. The memo is written even before the May physical date.
We knew they were not typed by a secretary, a secretary always puts her own initials at the foot of the document so that the actual creator of the document can be identified, there are no such markings on these memos
WooHoo!! CBS, make her your star witness!!
Between verifying these are forgeries and her Michael Moore impression I bet you can get your credibility back realllll fast. LOL!
Yep.

Not really. How will Rather break the news that the documents are fake?
He can't. He has to discredit this woman's testimony, too. If the documents are fake, he has to stop stonewalling about who gave them to him.
It's already pretty clear that he can't do that. The trail goes someplace unbetrayable.
The comedy about to unfold will get even sillier than the opening act, if that's possible.
I smell a rat. She's anti-Bush, she's got a price and the Heinz-Quarters can afford it. Just a matter of time before her memory "improves."
Do democrats ever listen to themselves?
How many more shoes are going to drop?
lol.
Dan!!! Stop digging!!!! Dan!!!! Hello !!!!
Dan seems to have dug his own career grave.
Hey Dan, you were going to retire next year. Dan, clear up this mess, admit you were duped or complicit. Come clean, Dan. Otherwise, like Bill Clinton's legacy of Lewinsky and Impeachment are set in stone, your legacy, Dan, will end on a lie, an attempt to deceive the public. Is that the kind of controversy you want to end your career on, Dan?
I've just seen so many examples of mis-quoting, and mis-representing quotes. I don't know what she said, which is why I'd like to see the transcript. But it wouldn't surprise me if the transcript contained something like:
Interviewer: "Did Killian keep personal files?"
Interviewee: "Oh yes, he kept personal files"
Then in the article they claim she said that "such documents did exist".
The statements seem to have been prepared for her, the memor reflect documents that used to exist, but it is not what she typed. Now, does that mean that she typed something similar, or that exactly the same, or just the same type of document. They didn't ask her if she typed any private memos for private files, either.
If she did ALL his typing and that any such memos would have been typed by her, but she also denies writing any memos on this topic, how is it that such memos came into existence? Who typed them?
Correction:
If she STATES THAT SHE did ALL his typing and that any such memos would have been typed by her, but she also denies writing any memos on this topic, how is it that such memos came into existence? Who typed them?
They are trying to discredit all documents that are this old so that when more come out about Kerry they can say, "these are forged."
