The Taylor County Democratic Party has potentially been linked to the fraudulent Bush documents aired on 60 Minutes!!
So? Anyone could have programmed that phone number into their fax machine.
If someone could type up a page in Time New Roman 12 (no need for an exact copy of the documents; a page full of 'quick brown fox' etc. (upper and lower case, plus digits 0-9) would suffice) and fax it from that Kinko's to themselvees, capturing the result in pixel-perfect format, I'd be interested in seeing it. Faxing and scanning can lose a lot of information, but can also sometimes preserve more than may be apparent.
Different fax machines will distort different images differently. Given an faxed output from the Kinko's machine for comparison, it may be possible to determine whether or not the Kinko's machine represented the first faxed generation of these documents (if the machine has 'photo mode' and 'normal mode' send once with each).
Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Ain't nobody gonna treat you mean in Abilene
I don't know what I've been told
Get your lovin' before you get too old
High-toned woman ain't got no soul
Treat you mean, Oh, Abilene
Saddest day I ever seen
The day I caught the 219
Watched you wave and lost a dream
In Abilene, in Abilene
How well I remember
It's all coming back to me in
Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Ain't nobody gonna treat you mean in Abilene
Ain't no fun bummin' 'round
One thing baby that I've found
A man's own cryin' is one mournful sound
Abilene, Abilene
Soft brown eyes, chestnut hair
Like an angel standin' there
Making people stop and stare
In Abilene, my Abilene
Abilene (Abilene), Abilene (Abilene)
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Ain't nobody gonna treat you mean in Abilene
Ain't nobody gonna treat you mean in Abilene

There are many creative ways to "munge" documents in a copier if you wish. Think about placing a dirty transparency on the copier first and then the document. Think about then crumpling the first generation copy and sort of smoothing it out before recopying. Not to mention the distorting effects of plain clear water & a dry-out before making another copy.
None of those ways would introduce some of the specific types of distortion that are present in the documents. They were clearly faxed, and I'd like to see a pixel-perfect sample of a real page sent from that Kinko's to see if the first-generation fax was produced there.
The .pdf files will have all of the distortions of the fax machine plus the distortions of the scanner CBS used to produce the .pdf files.
Of course the other possibility is that they were faxed directly from a computer...
I'm pretty sure that was not done. If the faxes were sent via computer, TrueType "hinting" would have avoided aliasing problems without creating the weird artifacts observed on the fax. And since such artifacts would only have been created at the first fax generation, I'm pretty sure the documents weren't faxed directly from a computer.
Yes, or a connection to his daughter. Father's are very protective.
That's great.
Totally true.
Todd, tlbshow?
