This was probably done by the incredibly inept forger to increase the apparent “age” of the document, and to make the text appear more ragged.

Several LGF readers emailed to say that if you open one of the CBS News Killian memos in Photoshop and adjust the levels, crumple marks show up on the paper. So I tried it, and here’s the result:

I’ll bet that if the real printed originals of these documents ever turn up (say, in a dumpster behind MoveOn.org headquarters), they’ll find the idiot’s fingerprints on them.
It looks wrinkled :)
Ok. Now were talking 'Shroud of Turin'.
Quick - someone look at the negative image of this.
Please check the document for Sandy Berger DNA. Secretary says Army speak used in docs.
"But, but, but its the content. Its the content I tell you." </sarcasm> </Blathermouth>
I wonder if anyone has tried Photoshop filters with default settings to see if one can match the crumpled look. If that can be done . . .
Maybe Registered knows someone who could.
Sign your name, print, or type something, whatever, on a sheet of paper. Take a black magic marker and line through it. Then make a photocopy of that document, or, to be more true to form, go through fifteen generations of copying. Hold the two up to the light. On the original, it's VERY easy to see the original information you marked out. On the final copy, though, it's impossible, because the photocopier only picks up the black mark, not the underlying writing.
This to me is incredibly damning evidence against CBS. They can't produce original documents because there aren't any.
They did up a MS Word document, photocopied it fifteen or twenty times, crumpled it up, and THEN blacked out the pertinent information. Otherwise, the info would NOT be visible through the blackout. It's physically impossible.
Yep...and if you look in the right hand corner, it appears that someone wiped their posterior with it. That's about all it's worth.
Wouldn't that be a blast! Great idea, Finn . . .
If you read it backwards, is there a hidden satanic message?
I'm sure the original was shredded.

If it was in storage for 30 years in Texas I would expect some mould, dry rot and termite activity.
"If done with a "plug-in" filter for a Photoshop-type app (PS, PSP, for example), one can make any image appear as if it was printed on a crumpled piece of paper."
I've done that more than a few times, but these results are not the kind you would get from graphics editor IMHO. I think it really was crumpled and smoothed out.
the uneveness of the paper would alter how well the photocopy laser would focus on different parts of the page, the tools I use to get a crumple effect doesn't do that.
Do these crumple marks point towards Burkett as the source of the memos? He's the one that claimed he saw GW's recs go in the trash and there has already been some speculation about his possible involvement in this...

Shouldn't there be at least ONE vertical or horizontal crease? It seems unusual that there isn't.
