This is typical MSM Pravda-style journalism, obviously intended to paint Congressman Stearns as some kind of fool who is out of touch with reality. The truth of the matter is that there is no scientific evidence whatsoever that the BC image which appeared on the WH web site last April was a that of a scanned image of a bona fide document. Rather than Stearns or Sheriff Arpaio, it's these MSM hacks, like the anonymous author(s) of the posted story, who are the purveyors of disinformation on the subject.

When the investigators talk about "layers" they are talking about combining different images into one. For a simple example when I sign an image I can sign anywhere on the image, then move the text around until it is where I want it.The text exists in a separate moveable layer until I "merge" or "flatten" the image.
The B.C. forgers were working with different software than is used for photographs but the principles and techniques are related. They did not expect close scrutiny and expert analysis and the careless flaws and errors show.
Erm... is this a pointed reference to me? What I published at Pravda is the simple fact based truth. I could not have published it here in the United States. I have gotten a lot of flack for it, including from the owner of this site. Ironically I face more censorship here on this site than I did at Pravda. Collectively, THIS has my “Irony” meter pegged so hard over the needle broke.
