From Kerry Spot at NRO

Strong calls them "compatible with the way business was done at the times." That's a dodge. "Genuine" and "compatible" are not synonyms.

Strong also says "[Killian] was trying to deal with at least one superior officer, General Staudt, who was closely connected to the Houston political establishment." He says nothing about Staudt retiring almost two years earlier. Just how reliable is that memory, Mr. Strong?

Also Strong later admitted he never observed Killian typing. In fact, he said that he "didn't know if Jerry Killian ever touched a typewriter in his life." Killian was stationed in Houston, Strong was stationed in Austin.

He also said, "I would not say that I authenticated the documents. I basically said that if these documents are what they purport to be, then I don't see anything inconsistent with the way we did business or the man I knew Jerry Killian to be. You know, I'm looking at third or fourth generation copies of memos that look perfectly OK to me. But it's been 30-odd years, man." Strong has also said he "has no personal knowledge" of George W. Bush's National Guard service.

Your honor, I'm finished with this "witness."

"Your honor, I'm finished with this "witness.""

Or as cousin Vinnie might have said: "Your honor, I've got no further use for this "witness."
