Good job pointing out the seal. Like Freeper 'Motherbear' asked, "Why the seal if he wasn't trying to pass it off as a copy of the real thing?"
When I first heard that this reporter scrounged up an "old-fashioned typewriter" to "copy" the memos, I figured he was a forger. It's 2005 - - if he was openly making copies, why wouldn't he just do it on his computer? He only came forward with his admission when he realized he was stone-cold caught. In other words, his "admission" to the AP was preemptive.
The only thing left to be seen is how much (if any) integrity his newspaper has.
Especially since doing it on your computer is a lot more discreet. I would think in a newsroom today, a reporter typing on his keyboard wouldn't draw a second glance. But a reporter dragging out the trusty IBM Selectric from the basement closet, blowing off the dust, going around asking if anyone saved any extra typewriter ribbon from 1987, and then typing away is going to cause people to stop and ask, what's he doing? Especially since the Dan Rather scam.
