ABSTRACT
The following evidence from a forensic examination of the Bush memos indicates that they were typed on a typewriter:
1. The specific font used is from a typewriter family in common use since 1905 and a typewriter capable of producing the spacing has been available since 1944. 2. The characters “e,” “t,” “s,” and “a” show indications of physical damage and/or wear consistent with a well used typewriter. 3. The characters that are seldom used show no signs of damage or wear. 4. The quality of individual characters is inconsistent throughout the memos beyond expectations from photocopying and/or digitizing but quality is consistent with worn platen and variations in paper quality. 5. Overlapping characters occasionally indicate paper deformation consistent with hammered impressions. 6. Critical indicators of digital production or cut and paste production are missing.
Implications are that there is nothing in this evidence that would indicate the memos are inauthentic. Furthermore, from the point of view of the physical evidence in the documents (excluding any rhetorical evidence or external evidence, which is not examined in this study) no amount of additional research on the part of CBS would have lead them to exclude the documents from their 60 Minutes report.

Unless they talked to the woman who would have typed them, who knew right away her typewriter wouldn't produce such memos....
Unless they looked at all the authentic documents, which bear absolutely no resemblance to the CBS memos...
Bullsh*t.

Hey you beat me to it !
That graphic is all you need to know/see.
Over here!
Well, when they're that specific about it, how can you argue?
I guess Danno is going to have to retract his "apology," such as it was.
Unless they had the originals, the copies could NEVER be authenticated.
Knowing just how badly a fakery these 'memos' are, all this examination does is lower my opinion of academics... again.
They just won't give up, will they?
They don't realize that at this point they have lost that discussion. They can't unring the bell. The more they talk about it, the worse for Kerry.
PING
This is total BS in that the school did not have the originals, only the very bad reproductions.
And the spacing was not correct and the signitures are forged.
Mr. Hailey, fresh from the Bill Burkett web site.......LOL

I love the Internet.
Those memos are not faked or forged - they're Rathered.
