Forensic documents expert Sandra Ramsey Lines, who debunked the Rathergate papers, agrees with Polarik about the fraudulent nature of the Certification published on Factcheck and elsewhere. Read Polarik’s work and decide for yourself how “amateurish” you think it is.

That is simply not true.

Sandra Lines simply repeated the basic Document Examiner 101 rules that one can't authenticate a scanned image posted on the internet. Something which no person claimed otherwise.

She did not endorse ANY allegation of forgery. Everything she said would equally apply to any authentic, legitimate document which was scanned, redacted, and posted on the internet.

No, she doesn't. What she said actually goes against Polarik, in that she stated that a scanned image or photograph is useless for determining the authenticity of a document. For that you need the document itself.

The only other thing she said is that it's possible to create a fake image. Well duh! Who doesn't already know that? Saying that something's possible isn't the same as saying it has actually been done.
