...at some point stories based on official documents will require authentication --Not if they can be used to discredit President Bush.

Of course on DU they're saying that claiming their "evidence" is a fake or a fraud is just a standard FReeper procedure to divert attention from the "truth" that Bush "lied" us into war.
Wonder if they can spell 'loser'?

They are probably not fake. If you fake something at least make it relevant and interesting. DSM does neither.
If they are fake then whoever did it needs to go to the Dan Rather seminar on false reporting held every other Wednesday night at the Washington Bureau of Newsweek Magazine.

So journalism now is about protecting your anonymous secret unnamed source rather than fact checking your story. Idiot!!

Has anyone checked the FBI memos that Durbin read and referenced? Are they authentic?

Smith told AP he protected the identity of the source he had obtained the documents from by typing copies of them on plain paper and destroying the originals. Priceless.

As Rush would say .... "It's the seriousness of the charge that's important"

I don't think Blair or President Bush denied them in their press conference, did they?
I think our concentration needs to be whether or not the content means anything relevant.
It doesn't.

I would think that if they were fakes, they would have been a lot more damning.

Well, the original documents still need to be examined to determine their authenticity...Copies are worthless. MSM knows this....Phooey.
