I don't understand why there isn't a criminal investigation underway. I'm guessing that forging military documents is illegal.

One, featuring Bill Glennon, a former typewriter repairman (last seen in that job in the 1970s) with no typographical background and no document authentication training who first jumped into the debate as a commenter on a liberal blog. The poor schmuck thought he could back up CBS and just would up causing them even more heartburn! He should spend his days reading DU, not posting and trying to be "helpful"!
To: Cableguy
well, SeaBS has three, count 'em, one, two, three, CSI programs in their fall line up.
Wonder if they'll use these docs into a storyline. :)

Whether or not Rather knowingly disseminated false documents originally, he is now purposefully continuing the deception and that makes him just as guilty. Those like O'Reilly who cannot believe that Rather would do anything dishonest and blames Rather's staff, now should consider the inexcusable stonewalling for which Rather is now totally responsible.

It seems Rather & Co are stuck in place still trying to dispute Buckhead's original post here that started it all. They don't seem capable of moving past that point in time.

"I don't understand why there isn't a criminal investigation underway."
For similar reasons that Sandy Berger was let off the hook I suppose.

Even if it were illegal, it would be impossible to get a conviction in this case, so it won't be filed, ever.
The well-known court of public opinion is trying the case pretty well, though, doncha think?
To: Ken K
Agreed. I just don't understand why authorities are not looking into who forged these documents, whether it was Rather, Burkett, or me. It's criminal. I honestly don't understand.

Rather was far too gleeful about finding the documents and now far too defensive of their supposed "accuracy" to even consider him a news man at this point at best he is a discredited Political Commentator.
I believe Rather was a hero to O'Reilly. It's hard to see your Hero proved a fake.

I'm deeply grateful to Ratherbiased.com for making available the click link to CBS/Viacom's 50 major Class B stockholders. I sent them my latest article, below, which I think y'all will appreciate.
Great research by the Ratherbiased people. CBS would do well to clean house and bring these people on staff. LOL.

CBS is now promoting the lie that nobody has diputed the DNC version of Bush's guard service.
CBS is no longer a viable news organizaion. They just ingore what they do not like.

Now, this next question is even more important....Can you verify the information in these fake documents is correct?

Well, I couldn't last week but I sure can now. I remember like it was yesterday. Actually, I'm not quite sure what yesterday was. What day is today? Where am I? Aren't you that so-and-so who stole my loaf of rye? Of course I remember, all that there fake information is true, and I should know, 'cause I'm wearing 'em and I just did.

OOPS! I CRAPPED MY PANTS!

Now the CBS/DNC talking point is that since nobody has disproved a LIE the LIE must be true.
Whoever gave dan rather a college degree cheated him.

I do understand, but I'm saying, don't be frustrated. We're winning.
is CBS using the same 'expert' to authenticate these documents that was used to 'authenticate' Vince Foster's suicide not??

I know. Thanks. I just want someone's head on a platter. A terrible crime has been committed against our President.

I hope ratherbiased.com has found a way to get this information to all the affiliates who received the package of "proof" from CBS.

My reply to any and all "experts": NAME THE MACHINE. At a minimum it must:
1) Use Times New Roman, AND
2) Use true proportional fonts, AND
3) Use "kerning", AND
4) Have true superscripts (Memo to Dan - not just a "TH" key), AND
5) Control striking force, so that periods are no darker than, say, capital "M"s.
The technical issues go beyond these five, but if you can't find ALL OF THESE in ONE typewriter, the documents are frauds, period.
