I'm going nuts. With Hannity's memo, the content was irrelivent, but the leak must be examined. This time it dosen't matter if the memo is even real, but what it suggests is fact and Bush must pay. It boggles the mind, it does.

"AND ARE FAR REMOVED FROM THE DOCUMENTS CBS STARTED WITH WHICH WERE ALSO PHOTOCOPIES."

So there are no originals available...the signatures may indeed be real...but cut and pasted. I bet they ran these through some older thermal fax machines, which tend to run the letters.

In most states, public officials or figures as plaintiffs are required to prove negligence or actual malice on the part of the publisher. To prove actual malice, a person needs to show that at the time of publication or broadcast, those responsible for the story either knew it was not true or had a reckless disregarded for the truth.

"Not quite right Mondonico.
Juan has a contract with National Public Radio.NPR has the contract with the Kerry campaign and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC."

You are quite right.

There is a web site for the IBM Selectric Composer, which evidently first came out in 1966. It could do proportional spacing, and the manual, which they have as a PDF which has scanned-in pages, shows that they had, among other type faces, one called "Press Roman," which looks a lot like Times Roman. (In the US, fonts aren't copyrightable--but names of fonts can be trademarked. That's why you see all those CDs with "20,000 Fonts!" that are ripped-off versions of fonts, scanned in, fed to a font editor, and turned into TrueType without bothering to add kerning hints so the results suck, and with names changed to protect the guilty.)

Now, that said, the Selectric Composer was a major proctalgia to use. Someone once said the Selectric was a triumph of engineering over design, and that goes in spades for the Composer. You had to type everything twice. The first time you typed each line, a little pointer would point at a color, and when you retyped the line, you got to set an indicator to the color that was pointed at, if I understand the description correctly.

What kind of idiot would go to that much trouble--over twice as much work as to use a regular typewriter--to type documents that didn't need to be all that pretty? I'm sorry, but the independent twin I-beam suspension on my disbelief can't handle that much of a load.

Marcel Matley is a doozy. Has this been posted?

"The Expert Ambush...
How to hold off your opponent until the cavalry arrives"

by Marcel Matley
February / March 1999 issue of San Francisco Attorney magazine

[snip]
The expert ambush need not be a handwriting expert; it could be any kind of expert. Since I know about handwriting, I will use it to illustrate how to hold out until you can call in your own expert trooper, of whatever brand expert. Not being an attorney, I cannot tell you about laws and rules, only about techniques for taking the upper hand over the expert who knows it all, while you know nothing at all about that expertise.

He's a kook. And a trial lawyer shill.

>> It boggles the mind, it does.

It reminds me of this passage: "Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time". (Revelation 12:12)

I think telling the blogosphere to F**k Off is a very bad idea, like fighting a fire with gasoline.

Will photocopy stand up in court as evidence? I don't think so.

Under special circumstances, yes...but it requires a witness and a chain of custody - at least that's my experience.
