And who is Peter Wallsten, anyway? I think maybe Free Republic needs a thread which is all about Peter Wallsten.

WASHINGTON — It was the first public allegation that CBS News used forged memos in its report questioning President Bush's National Guard service — a highly technical explanation posted within hours of airtime citing proportional spacing and font styles.
But it did not come from an expert in typography or typewriter history as some first thought. Instead, it was the work of Harry W. MacDougald, an Atlanta lawyer with strong ties to conservative Republican causes who helped draft the petition urging the Arkansas Supreme Court to disbar President Clinton after the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Times has found.

B@st@rds can find Buckhead but they can't get to the bottom of the forgeries.....
They have their priorities.
I was just wondering if his ISP gave up his name upon request, that's all.
Holy Crap! That's it..I QUIT! This place has absolutely NO integrity if you allow conservatives to point out CBS fraud......What is this world coming to anyway?

With some folks, one could not only determine their name, but their pets name, what kind of pet, where they work, if they are married, retired, how many kids, where they go, what they do, who they know, where they vacation, what their politics are, sometimes a DOB, (I've seen that one) what types of vehicles they drive, or what type your going to buy, etc.
Some folks don't care. But for those that do, I would say keep it light, and generic, and avoid specifics such as your name etc. Identity theft and other crimes of this nature are very real and very hard to solve.

Isn't this a BIT close to......"I know who you are...AND what you had for dinner?"
Makes my skin crawl!
Yep. I hope they are still reading this thread so they can see first hand how silly they are. If anyone over there has read this entire thread he must be thinking "ooops. We look stupid again. Just like we did with the Guard-Airforce contention.
Those folks should think before they post.

My guess is that the more plausible conspiracy angle will be this: that the White House came in possession of the documents (my understanding is that they had been given them by CBS so that the WH would grant permission for their release) and after examining the documents the WH realized there were significant problems with them and that they were likely fakes. But they didn't bother saying anything about it. Why should they? Instead, as the conspiracy theory would go, they decided to wait and let doubts be raised via the internet once the 60 Minutes show aired (in this case through a certain Freeper going by the name Buckhead).
Plausible? To be honest, i think it is. And if it did happen this way, i say good for the WH and i also say that CBS got what was coming to them. CBS were the ones with the responsibility to check out the documents and verify them. Not the WH. And by not checking them out in a thorough manner (or more to the point by ignoring doubts raised by their own experts) they deserve to be humiliated and exposed as the Republican hating organization that they are.
A "Bump" Is a way to recycle (move) a thread to the top of the forum discussion more people will see it and contribute....
Harry, we are proud to have you here.
No pajamas, I freep in my underwear....can I be an officer?

What do I have to do to be "looked into" by the LA Times? Dangit, I feel all left out and unimportant. *sniff*
Buckhead's strong intellect and prowess in outing weasels is only confirmed by this revelation. Thanks again, Buckhead!
Since Buckhead is a conservative it's unfair to expose these memos as fraudulent.
How Pathetic
Since the people that exposed the fraudulent Hitler Diaries didn't believe them to be real, I put forth this resolution that they, therefore, must be real.
Oh for crying out loud!
What the hell is the matter with these people anyway? I'm going to change my career, go back to school and become a psychologist, Lord only knows there is a dire need for them
The problem with your theory is the only way they could get his ISP information would be from Jim since ISP information isn't posted anywhere.
I'm a mod on another board which is owned by my son. ISP's are logged but can only be seen by those with admin capacities. The only reason we need to have that information is in the event we need to ban by ISP someone who trolls excessively or posts certain banned pictures.
Well, we'll just post in code. It has been done before.
