Byron York on with Brit.
Brit starts with "Let's presume authentic, what is new, if anything"
York says we knew he had not taken physical, knew he had been grounded. Did not know an actual order was given for physical.
The Boston Globe report that claims Bush was supposed to report to base in Boston is wrong, York says. Bush's honorable disharge issued before the date in question.
York: Explaining what the documents purport to be and says there are definitely odd aspects to them.
York: Killian appears to be a Jekyll and Hyde character when you compare tone of these new memos with the other records of glowing reviews.
York now addressing the font business and the superscript problems. Says these questions have been raised and so far their info is the typing not possible. Brit says one of their producers did a typing in Word and got the reproduction others here have produced.
York spoke to nationally recognized expert who said this was produced on a typewriter, but other experts said no. But the expert who said typewriter possible was flummoxed over the superscript. The expert had no explanation for that.
I'm not buying this. I have used an old IBM typewriter in our office and retyped samples of the CBS documents along with some official Bush documents. While I'm not exactly matching any of the official documents, they roughly match in terms of margins/spacing. The CBS documents don't match either the official documents or my sample typing. Why would Killian have a special typewriter?
