Van Os says: "...if someone in the year 2004 had prepared on a word processor replicas of documents that they believed had existed in 1972 or 1973 — which Bill Burkett has absolutely not done..."

SHEZZA RESPONDED: "Could be a Clintonesque parsing of words. His vehement denial is that the documents were absolutely not typed on a word processor in the year 2004. Burkett has been peddling documents for years. He may have begun rough drafts on these particular nine or ten months ago and still be able to truthfully deny that he had absolutely not typed them in the year 2004."

My Klinon-Speak take was that Os was literally saying that Bill Burkett had absolutely not typed them in 1972 or 1973.

Os was NOT denying that Burkett typed them in 2004!

Ah, I didn't look at it that way. All depends on what the meaning of "is" is. ;o)
