Who has declared these memos to be forgeries? Freepers, or some official source?
At this stage, just about the entire world. Of course, FReepers started it all, but you can now find expert testimony referenced in many threads.
What do you mean by 'official source', anyway?
That's the problem with you folks on the Left Coast-- you're too moderate and accepting of the Establishment medias daily deceptions. I direct you to "Boo-Gate." Did you think they would do that?
These people, Rather in particular, are commie pinkos bent on electing Lurch. Get to know that, Man.
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.
