I rarely did the "roll up" thing. Maybe a math professor might care about such things, but your typical office memo just didn't bother. And especially if it were just a note to file....why would anyone go to all that trouble, not to mention having to clean the ribbon ink off one's hands?!
I haven't had any time to read this thread. I see y'all have been comparing signatures again. Please ping me to any major-development posts. I'll catch up tonight!
This may or may not be the case here.
However, as I'm sure you are aware, this wouldn't be the first time this type of scheme were used. Even if this were true in this specific case, it's very possible that it was done without the knowledge of the person or subject in question.
They didn't.
I think they were trying to convince us this was official from the Pentagon. This would, indeed, look like a copy of a copy stored like in hospitals or something like that.
Since that is not the case, this is supposedly ba first copy of an original, and Mrs. Killiam would have the original. Someone attempted to make this look exactly like the documents released by Bush ecause they weren't thinking clearly and had to rush this (I agree this October surprise was dropped early).
I am, however, curious as to why the original was not copied and notarized and kept with Mrs. Killiam and the original given to CBS? What did she have to lose? She knew they were going to run it on television.
Could it be because there are no originals? We know the answer to that.
Has anyone actually opened up MS Word, set the font to Times New Roman 12 pt, typed the memos verbatim and then turned them into PDFs? Compare them side by side with the ones being put out there now...
I received a copy of my grandmother's social security number application, and her parents names were blacked out for privacy reasons (policy in case they were still alive).
I had no way at all of getting that information from under the black mark.
However.
If I type a letter, print it on paper with a laser printer and black mark out with a Sharpie, the laszer printed "rises" above the black marker ink. I've not scanned something like this, but I would assume the scan would remove the black mark from the raised laser on the page. I've also not tried faxing such a document.
These documents may have been faxed and received by CBS. The background marks are just too interesting.
How can they?
They came from Killiam's widow - not the Pentagon.
They are not part of his file of record.
Damn!
Clintons are finally going to be nailed on that!
As other Freepers have stated, the IBM Executive had both proportional spacing and superscript "th".

No it's not. See Post 451.
What year was this?
>>I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet (hard to keep up with it all)
There is an enormously obvious word-processing insert on this memo: http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/BushGuardaugust18.pdf
Where is says "Austin is not happy today either"
The "not happy today either" drops down to the next line and is in an easily obvious different font from the entire rest of the document
I also find it strange that such a letter was "sent". It was however GWB's official address.
Great find! There are two different fonts being used in some of the documents. In your example, look at the "tin" in "Austin" and the "tin" in "rating" just above it. The fonts are different.
I can FReepmail you and let you know how force MS Word to NOT do formatting like this, if JimRob or an AM will vouch for your bonafides..... (I don't want to let the sleeper-trolls on FR know how to do 'better' forgeries) 8-)
thanks. I've received the "secret memo" on getting that "feature" not to work. :-)
