  • Memogate: 4th expert James J. Pierce says "CBS is wrong" and in the middle of studying them

    Athens Banner-Herald ^ | September 19, 2004 | Gary Moon
    Moon: Saga of Bush's National Guard documents getting more involved CBS News and anchor Dan Rather have been in a considerable amount of hot water during the past week, ever since it became evident a story Rather broadcast on "60 Minutes II" concerning President Bush's National Guard service was based upon forged documents. The documents in question are a set of four memos supposedly authored by Lt. Col. Jerry Killian in 1972 and 1973. Killian was Bush's squad commander in the Texas Air National Guard during that time period. However, many (if not most) of the reputable forensic document experts...

    The Athens Banner Herald ^ | 9/19/04 | Mooner
    The CBS quotations of Pierce come from a 'Professional Opinion' memo Pierce sent to "60 Minutes" staff on Sept. 14, which was then posted as a PDF document on the CBS News Web site (along with Pierce's home address in the letterhead). But to hear James Pierce tell it, his experience seems to parallel that of James and Will. This columnist contacted Pierce by telephone Sept. 16. He said he was unable to talk specifically about the work he has been doing for CBS, because - contrary to how CBS News portrays it - he says he has not yet...

    NRO The Kerry Spot ^ | September 17, 2004 | Jim Geraghty
    Just exchanged emails with Garry Moon, columnist for the Athens, Ga. Banner-Herald. He shared a stunning bit of news with me, and said he wanted Kerry Spot readers to know, since he doesn’t know when his column is going to run in the Banner-Herald. Moon managed to contact James J. Pierce, the fourth expert that CBS has cited as one of its experts verifying its documents. (I asked “who is James Pierce?” yesterday. In light of Moon’s news, maybe I was a little harsh on the guy.) Moon writes: I called Pierce at about 7:30 p.m. Thursday night. I told...
  • Another Flimsy Defense (picks apart CBS' forensic team)

    09/16/2004 11:09:36 AM PDT · by Cableguy · 23 replies · 1,008+ views
    Eager to stop an affiliate rebellion over Memogate, CBS News last night released a number of documents to affiliate stations following Wednesday's 60 Minutes episode. These documents are essentially the best defense that the Eyemark network has to offer on the week-old controversy. And a poor defense it is. RatherBiased.com obtained copies of all of these documents which include signed letters from two "experts" supposedly attesting to the CBS documents' authenticity. In truth, however, both letters (which are dated Sept. 14, almost a week after CBS's original report ran) could hardly be characterized as ringing endorsements. One of them comes...
  • CBS Forensic Document Examiner: James J. Pierce (let's analyze this)

    09/15/2004 9:23:40 PM PDT · by Cableguy · 23 replies · 1,015+ views
    Some highlights from the PDF file: Date is 9/14 [why is it yesterday instead of last week?] Key Text (only 3 paragraphs appear): "the balance of the Jerry B. Killian signatures appearing on the photocopied questioned documents are consistent and in basic agreement" [but are they same as the real military documents?] "the same typed-face designs are strongly similar to corresponding samples that indicates the same type-face existed prior to the date in question on the photocopied documents" [this does not prove anything] After that, this 'expert' concludes that the documents are 'authentic'. How can you make that conclusion based...
