COVER STORY:
They were replicated copies of original hand written documents?
ABCNEWS says their doc experts raised doubts too..but CBS stands behind their story!
Monica Crowley: Do you feel your father lied on 60 minutes?
Amy [Barnes' daughter]: "Yes I do.... "
To be fair DU has the foremost pachouli experts in the world.
Thanks. The DUs really are in denial aren't they? Too funny.
Blather is to address the 60 Minutes story any moment now. Teased it as saying the Republicans are on the attack. (I think they have a victim "here"). We'll see...
Some times you feel like a nut,
Sometimes you don't.
Rather needs to be retired.
From the following:
A POINT THAT I'D LIKE TO STRESS
http://www.indcjournal.com/
* Dr. Bouffard said that signature analysis isn't that relevant because the signature could have easily been copied and pasted onto one of the photocopied forgeries from another document.
Most of us work in DTP-related industries.
All I had to do was glance at the damn memos on-screen and know they were processed on Word.
Morons.
ABC just showd the sup. I agree, it is a sans serif font where the rest of the doc is courier. That pretty much nails it. PRetty stupid, though.
But, all bs aside, isn't writing a memo to your own private file sort of like a tree falling in the woods with no one there to hear?
Some are 'just pictures.'
I get fax documents via e-mail all the time, and they come as a series of pages scanned as graphic files and stored in a pdf file.
On the other hand, optical character recognition software can scan a page, convert it to text and store it in an editable form as a series of characters, again, in a pdf file.
It can be done either way.
The SeeBS documents are images stored in a pdf, not characters.
Ironic, isn't it, that CBS and the Dem's seemed to be caught having "rushed to (political) war based on faulty intelligence".
No, no, no....I am not an expert on anything, except running live threads.......LOL. I'm very vapid, haven't you heard??
And of all the things I do not know, Acrobat is near the top of my list! I still haven't figured out how to copy and paste from it.
Someone will be right along to explain it to you; that's the great thing about FR!
I am copying this from a poster at another website. I concur with his statements:
The letter CBS posted about 1st Lt Bush is an obvious fake. Apparently someone-likely the retired officer in question took old letter head stationary that he had in his file cabinet (or in a pumpkin) and created this document to include adding the 'th' when such a superscript was not possible on military typewriters of the time--I know I used them.
But MOST GLARING is the omission of an 'SSCI' code the Standard Subject Classification Indicator code which is found on every piece of US military correspondence. The SSCI must appear in the upper right hand corner and include a subject code, the originator's initials, the clerk-typist's code and the date. Every official military document must include an SSCI--this officer (who most likely never typed an official document in his career) forgot to include it and probably could not even remember the correct subject abbreviation code.
ALSO ON US MILITARY CORRESPONDENCE THE SUBJECT LINE IS ALWAYS CAPITALIZED-no self respecting military clerk typed this forgery. and no clerk would type the military style date '14 MAY 1972' as 14 May,1972'.
I have never heard H. Hewitt speak before, but I have read some things from him. Thanks for the link.
I was listening to him, then Britt on Fox, and later Jennings (the scumbag). I am beginning to overload I think.
Still, I am of the mind that this is likely one of the best FR threads I have ever read.
Faking documents was at first doubtful, but now I see that it is clearly so as the evidence of such is overwhelming.
Kerry and his campaign is so doomed, and the liberal media is going to have a long way to go if they ever can achieve respectability again. They won't find it coming from here.
I believe he said Word Perfect font not MS word.
No but let's say it is, they needed to disclose this prior to releasing the documents, instead they presented them as actual. Not a leg to stand on.
