They certainly look like a modern word-processed document to me.

That I disagree with. Look at the bottoms of the letters, they're uneven.

IMO they were done by a good typist on an IBM Executive or similar, but not by a word-processor. I would have expected the forger to at least get that detail right.

The documents I am looking at do not have any obvious unevenness in them, aside from some artifacts from scanning them. There are some faxed copies that display unevenness, but that is inherent in faxed documents.

A reasonable opinion. Just FYI, here's what it looks like typed in Microsoft Word compared to the original.

I also note that if I type my own copy of the document in a word processor using the same font (Times New Roman), the tabs line up exactly the same as in the CBS document.

I don't care what the White House says (they may have recieved copies of the same documents from the Pentagon), I believe this is a forgery.

Interesting take, but I just retyped the paragraph with Open Office in standard 12 point with margins on the default setting and guess what? Every single line break matched perfectly, just like the gentleman who re-typed the letter in Microsoft Word. All I'd have had to do would have been to print it out and run it through the copier 10 times or so to make an exact duplicate of this.

My question...how did this person find Times Roman font and know exactly how both Open Office and Microsoft Word would format each line almost 20 years before they were invented?

Fascinating.
