That was me. It wasn't even the fonts. It was the formats and headings of the memo. They memo was in a format that the USAF didn't use until the early 90s. There is no way that a memo written in 1972 could perfectly match the format we went to in the 90s.
And, that, beyond all else that has been said, is why I KNOW they are fake. Whoever forged these documents had some knowledge of standard memo formats...from the wrong era.
Because the documents were forged--therefore, what they said was less important that the fact that they were forgeries.
no work done to look at the content
When the documents are forged, the content is beside the point.
no comparison with the official record
What would be the point of checking phony documents with the official record? The documents were false, and whether or not they matched the official record on ANY point is superfluous.
no phone calls made to check the facts of the story,
The facts had been available for a long time. President Bush's records were out. Why call to see if a phony, forged document matches anything?
nothing beyond a cursory and politically motivated examination of the typeface.
A genuine typeface, a genuine document, would have withstood the cursory and politically motivated examination and rendered the examination moot.
Alas, it was a forgery. The cursory and politically motivated examination revealed it to be so.
Yep, it was you TankerKC. You didn't get the notoriety that you deserved, but seeing as how "they" treated Buckhead, that might not be a bad thing. It was a stunning episode that the MSM still doesn't fully understand.
