As has been discussed on Free Republic earlier, Downing Street Memo Originals Destroyed -UGH!, British "reporter" Michael Smith has told Asociated Press that he copied the original on plain paper and then destroyed the originals.
But click here and you see a Reuters Wire Photo Showing a "Seal" on the "copy" offered to the press.
The caption reads, "A copy of the so-called 'Downing Street Memo', produced in July 2002 for Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair on the legality of the invasion of Iraq. Photo by Stephen Hird/Reuters".
Did he really destroy them, type them on plain paper? Don't look like plain paper to me Lucy.....Lucy Rameriz!
Looks like Michael Smith has adopted Dan Rather's mantra, "FORGE ON!"

Tell Powerline about your find, asap. They are the ones who made Buckhead famous. But I don't think you'll get as famous as him. LOL.

I got the very same seal on a message offering me great rewards for my participation in a discreet scheme to transfer funds into the Country, via my Credit Union account.

There is an arc below the seal with what appears to be three letters (BEI ????) that I don't see on the post #24 document.

Doc, you're already famous.
See Here. This is, however, a very interesting development. The fellow's story gets a bit more stretched by the hour - he claims to have tried to "protect his source" by destroying the originals after having his legal secretary retype them...on plain paper...on an old typewriter. Why? And now they have a seal. The story stinks like a mackerel that's been dead for three days in the hot Louisiana sun.

Who does this Michael Smith work for now?
