If he didn't pursue Clinton, he won't pursue Rather. The blood is in the water, folks. Now it's time for the sharks to swarm.
FORGING MILITARY DOCUMENTS IS A FEDERAL OFFENSE, and I WONDER what the MAXIMUM PENALITIES are?
OF COURSE so is photographing classified documents, how is Sandy Berger??
WE DO...it the Washington Times...and they are growing in stature with every MSM screw up...
Wholesale Fraud?
Clearing up AP's intent to deceive its publishing customers. Which in turn would spread the deception to those publisher's customers.
CBS faxed four documents to the White House. The White House then gave copies of those faxed documents to the Associated Press.
Wait a minute. This can all be explained. Two words: Time Travel- a computer taken back in time.
For an example of kerning, check the way rightmost stroke of the A tucks under the leftmost stroke of the W in AW. To achieve that, the typewriter would have to back the carriage up a little after typing the A.
Ooops!
Thanks.
But, again, those are the other records, not this TANG memos.
That was one of the big arguements concerning the "new media" - that they didn't have the resources to vet information properly. It looks like CBS doesn't have the resources either. :-)
Most thinking people have... but the papers don't care. As long as they still get advertisers to pay, they'll print info-news... DNC talking points.
Maybe this sheds some light on your question.
The 32-year-old documents produced Wednesday by the CBS News program "60 Minutes," shedding a negative light on President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard, may have been forged using a current word processing program, according to typography experts.
Three independent typography experts told CNSNews.com they were suspicious of the documents from 1972 and 1973 because they were typed using a proportional font, not common at that time, and they used a superscript font feature found in today's Microsoft Word program.
The documents came from the "personal office file" of Bush's former squadron commander Jerry B. Killian, according to Kelli Edwards, a spokeswoman for "60 Minutes," who was quoted in Thursday's Washington Post. Edwards declined to tell the Post how the news program obtained the documents.

Well done. I mean I KNOW the president has a lot of power, but didn't these "documents" come from Killian's wife? How and why would the WH even know they existed, and how would they obtain them, and yes, WHY is the CBS frickin' FAX number at the top of the "WH" document??????
Hey, girlieman, are you embroiled in this faked-documents-gate case?
>>Also, from Powerline:
Kevin Drum:
UPDATE: I now have copies of the memos the White House released, and they are just versions that CBS faxed to the White House the day before the 60 Minutes segment aired. There's no indication that the White House had its own copies of these memos and had been sitting on them.<<
This comment really makes the AP/Boston Globe bogus.
The documents "provided by the White House" are the CBS documents that are currently under challenge as fakes. (CBS probably faxed them to the White House immediately before the show as a "heads up" courtesy.) The White House simply passed them through from on lying...er, make that liberal, media outlet to another.

CBS faxed four documents to the White House. The White House then gave copies of those faxed documents to the Associated Press.
An AP article implied that the documents originated from the White House. The AP article neglected to say that the documents originated from CBS. The AP obviously didn't want to identify the author of the article and chose to leave blank the by line.
There's a high probability that two of the documents CBS faxed to the White House are forgeries. The original documents have been aired on 60 Minutes hosted by Dan Rather. At minimum it calls into question the integrity and veracity of Dan Rather, CBS and the Associated Press.
Leading is a clue too. The space between the lines and paragraphs. Sure would like to see what the standard spacing was for typwriters at the time compared to these dics.
