Note, they have a new witness to quote on what was said about Bush:

"Another former Texas National Guard officer, Richard Via, also said that the documents were fakes but that their content reflected questions about Bush that were discussed at the time in the hangar at Ellington Air Force Base, where he had a desk next to Killian's.

Via said he and others he worked with "remember the physical, and him going to Alabama was an issue." He said Killian "made notes and put them in his files about things like that."

Killian kept the files because "he was trying to cover his ass," Via said. "He was always worried something would come back on him."

He said Killian's secretary "would type them up, and he'd put it in his desk drawer and lock it.""

He said Killian's secretary "would type them up, and he'd put it in his desk drawer and lock
it."

Must have been space aliens so advanced they had time travel to make Microsoft word documents but so sloppy they quote people who have already retired years ago as applying pressure!

You really don't need all these Rube Goldburg theories. The truth is simple. The Kerry campaign wanted to libel Bush and the Redstream press wanted to believe the lies. They got most of the facts straight , but , as is the problem with all lies , the contradictions reveal themselves in spite of the best criminal efforts to remove them: somebody will think of something the forger didn't.

I thought Killian shared an office and secretary with Harris.

It sounds like some people in the unit have had it out for Bush for a long time, and they peddled their crap to someone who took their gripes and converted them to fake memos. Suppose my office mates and I start speculating, with no proof, that the secretary is banging the boss. Then suppose that several years later, we decide to gin up some fake documents that "prove" our speculation. That sounds a lot like what happened here.
