Washington, DC, Sep. 13 (UPI) -- Though it is not a certainty, the documents produced by CBS News to support the assertions of former Texas House Speaker and Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes that George W. Bush was the beneficiary of special treatment throughout his service in the Texas Air NationalUnfortunately CBS and its news anchorman Dan Rather have added to the suspicions by building a stone wall of increasing size around the documents in an attempt to fend off questions about them.... ... Rather dug in his heels quite deeply on Friday's network news broadcast. He explained that whether the...

I just got an e-mail from someone calling himself "JFH" which raises an intriguing question about an acronym used in one of the Killian docs. Jeff Goldstein wrote a post yesterday about a reference in the August 18, 1973 memo to something called an "OETR". Two people familiar with military terminology e-mailed Jeff to say that the acronym the author of the memo meant to use was "OER" -- an abbreviation for "Officer Effectiveness Report". Read Jeff's post and you'll see that his contacts are quite adamant that "OER" is a commonly used term and that no one familiar...

I just finished watching the all-star round table discussion with Brit Hume, Fred Barnes, Mort Kondracke, and Mara Liasson on Fox. No longer are they giving serious consideration to the possibility the Bush ANG documents are not fakes. Even Liasson more or less admitted there was no chance they were real. She also admitted the burden of proof was on the people making the allegation, and that this had "blown-up" in the face of the Bush-haters. This segment was notable in that this is the first time I've seen the issue treated without the seemingly-obligatory agnosticism we've been seeing. They...

Is there a chance that some of Kerry's own military documents are forged? Notably the second version of his silver star citation and his discharge from the Naval Reserves. Irregularities cited at this source.

To put a wooden stake in the heart of the vampire that is the IBM Selectric Composer typewriter theory, we've put-together a few graphics to illustrate one of the many reasons why this particular unit could not have produced any of the suspect CBS memos. On an IBM Selectric Composer typewriter, all characters - regardless of font or point size - have fixed "unit values" assigned to them. This means that, while the actual physical space taken-up by a character will change with font and point size, the relationships between characters within that given font and point size are always...

This was originally written and posted here as Media Contradications August 7, 2004 - in light of this insight from Powerline regarding the Rathergate and the AP's lies I started to see the MSM in it's last dying gasp! I thought it was appropriate to republish. Perhaps they see their last hope of recapturing their old glory and they realize their hero - was really a zero! Oh, and NO DU'ers - I didn't type the memo's! Just because I wrote this about the same time the memos made their way to CBS's laser printer doesn't mean I wrote the...

From Newsmax.com comes this from Terry McAulffe - and based on the McAulffe/Clinton defination of truth this could mean that the person had gone home for the day, think about it - depends on what the meaning of here is."No one here at the Democratic National Committee had anything at all to do with any of those documents," McAuliffe told reporters. "I can unequivocally speak for the Kerry for President Campaign Committee, nor do they have anything to do with these documents. Absolutely not." DKK

Source whose authentication Rather called 'impressive' never saw them.

few weeks ago, Thomas Oliphant of the Boston Globe was on PBS' ''Newshour'' explaining why the hundreds of swift boat veterans' allegations against John Kerry's conduct in Vietnam was unworthy of his attention. "The standard of clear and convincing evidence," he said, talking to Swiftvet John O'Neill as if he were a backward fourth-grader, ''is what keeps this story in the tabloids -- because it does not meet basic standards.'' Last week, we got a good idea of what Thomas Oliphant's ''basic standards'' are. Dan Rather and the elderly gentlemen at ''60 Minutes'' were all atwitter because they'd come into...

The simplest explanation for the torn document is that it's a forgery-- and a deniable forgery at that, since nowhere does Bush's name appear. There is a massive, almost 4-year long discussion of this issue at Salon.

Further scrutiny lessens doubts on Bush memos: Some skeptics now say IBM typewriter could have been used After CBS News trumpeted newly discovered documents Wednesday that referred to a 1973 effort to "sugar coat" President Bush's service record in the Texas Air National Guard, the network almost immediately faced charges that the memos were forgeries with typography that was not available on typewriters used at that time. But specialists interviewed by the Globe and some other news organizations say the specialized characters used in the documents, and the type format, were common to electric typewriters in wide use in the...

Here is a story of Dan Rather and CBS’s “ handwriting expert”, Marcel Matley who Rather pulled out of obscurity last night. A guy Nick Chase, who is writing this story below, found himself on an "Unsolved Mysteries" show that was being taped with a segment included on the Vince Foster suicide note.********* The Contrarian’s View "After a brief synopsis of Foster's death, the "Unsolved Mysteries" segment entirely focused its attention on the so-called "suicide" note. A short clip was shown of the October 25, 1995 Strategic Investment press conference at which graphologists Reginald Alton, Ronald Rice and Vincent Scalice...

Well, CBS might be sticking to "its" story, but the rest of the world is not buying it. I was just watching the Chinese language news out of Hong Kong and their reporting is that the CBS "national guard documents" are fake. They also reported that if the Kerry campaign is connected to the fake documents it will make Kerry's party look very bad and it will help Bush.

Dr. Philip Bouffard, a forensic document specialist in Georgia who has compiled of database of more than 3,000 old fonts, said people who bought the I.B.M. Selectric Composer model could specially order keys with the superscripts in question. Dr. Bouffard said that font did bear many similarities to the one on the CBS documents, but not enough to dispel questions he had about their authenticity. A spokesman for I.B.M., John Bukovinsky, said he knew only that it introduced proportional spacing to some typewriters in 1944, most notably in the Executive line. At Lexmark, a spokeswoman, Maria W. Gambrell, said typewriters...

Mods and Jim, I hope you will forgive me, but no one seems to have posted this in one inclusive thread before. This is a list that has been circulating the blogs regarding the evidence of forgery of the CBS documents. OK? Here we go: _________________________________________________________________ Some have already been clarified, but here are the running discrepancies: 1. proportional spacing not generally available (no confirmation this type of technology was available at TANG) 2. CBS admits that it does *not* have the originals, but only original documents can be proven to be real; copies can *never* be authenticated positively...repeat: only...
