No one disputes that. The Bush records have at least one
instance of MONO-SPACED typewritten data containing a
semi-superscript "th" typed as a single glyph. The
forgeries are proportionally-spaced.
Now, how about the 52 other problems?
This CBS "explanation" is merely propaganada for the
true believers. A non-denial denial focusing on one
minor aspect of the forgeries.
If the documents can be precisely replicated by the
trivial use of MS Word under defaults, then Occam's
Razor tell us what the presumption is: the simplest
explanation is the most likely.
What I saw in the exsisting Bush documents is close to what you saw. It is monospaced, but it is not superscripted, it's just smaller than the regular script but does not extend above the upper boundaries of the line like the "th" in the forged documents do.
This only proves that someone in the ANG office had a ball type machine with the "th" key, it did not have modern superscript functions.
Also, the "th" in question on the verified documents looks like it is underline, which it is clearly not on the forged documents.
Proves nothing Dan. Nice try though.
Send the 52 reasons they're fake to NBC, ABC, CNN and Fox. I'm sure they'd all enjoy taking down CBS News.
