Hannity just said a story will be filed later today that from sources inside CBS that the source of the documents is also the one who provided the Abu Grihab prison photos.

Okay...so forget the type...that still doesn't account for Staudt's name being used when he retired a year before the memo was written.
In addition to all the points that point to the documents themselves being forgeries, isn't this relevant?

UPDATE 12: In the August 18, 1973 memo "discovered" by 60 Minutes, Jerry Killian purportedly writes:
Staudt has obviously pressured Hodges more about Bush. I'm having trouble running interference and doing my job. But wait! Reader Amar Sarwal points out that General Staudt, who thought very highly of Lt. Bush, retired in 1972.
...
"Sure, I did that too. But the problem is, it's PERFECT! We're talking right down to the fraction of a space. It has to be within .020 or .030 of an inch for the letters to match up as perfectly as they do. No way can somebody be that perfect on three different lines."
Not on the IBM Executive. Remember, it has spaces that divide each space into three. That's how it does the proportional spacing. There are two spacebars on the machine. One moves the spacebar the width of the letter "i". The other moves it the width of the letter "n".
Backspacing works the same way. You'd be amazed at how small a movement you get with that typewriter.
How do I know? I used one to typeset a small magazine for about three years. You can do it just fine. I even had a whole set of alternative type bars with special characters, and used them all the time. Among them were the ordinal number endings as superscripts, like "th"
What I'm saying is that this document COULD have been prepared with an IBM Executive of the day. It WASN'T, because it would have taken even me an hour or so to do it, and I'd have done a much better job than the sloppy work done in this memo.
Nobody would do it. But...and I stress this...it COULD have been done, and CBS may be going to show you. You have no idea of the capabilities of that particular typewriter unless you have used it. And the military DID have them.
It's still a forgery, but it's not that simple.
Just kidding ;0)
Deep Typo? "Follow the spacing. Oh yea, don't forget about the superscripts, either".
Uh, if true, this isn't the best news to squash the "Rove did it to cast the Dems in a bad light" line of thinking, especially when considered in combination with this , which also took place in Austin.
There absolutely is.
The commander that supposedly was applying pressure to Killian retired the year before the memo was written, and Killian does not write in the past tense.
TEXANS should NOT MESS WITH TEXANS
Natalie Maines of the Chicks... who in my opinion started all of this HATE, should know that.
There is no such privelege in the 1st ammendment.
"Man, the hits just keep on a-comin'!"
Off the subject--but, RetiredArmy, are you a Boondock Saints fan? (i can quote it verbatim, and I recognize the line)
It didn't looked typed at all to me, more like it was written in.
The Pentagon was asked about the P.O. Box on one of the documents.
The Pentgon confirmed that would not have been military protocol for documentation and confirmed it was "highly unusual".
That's pretty strong. They could have said, "I have not seen any of the documents and cannot confirm or deny"
The producer in Dallas received the forged documents from someone else in Texas. Talk is from operatives from the Travis County (Austin) Demonrat organization.
A letter in every CBS broadcaster, to be considered when they come up for relicensing; CC the FCC at the same time as you make the deposit with the broadcaster.
Licenses are granted on the condition that teh broadcaster serve the public interest. THis activity is clearly AGAINST the public interest.
The Fourth Estate is a fifth column!
Even the most experienced typist, with the most expensive proportional typewriter, and all of the wiz-bang replacement keys could not duplicate the kerning used in modern word processing software and laser printers. These documents clearly display this kerning.
Therefore, there is no way these documents could have been typed on the dates identified in the documents.
Or, you could call 1-800-HAMSTER.
ROFL!!!
