Documents unearthed by CBS News that raise doubts about whether President Bush fulfilled his obligations to the Texas Air National Guard include several features suggesting that they were generated by a computer or word processor rather than a Vietnam War-era typewriter, experts said yesterday.
Experts consulted by a range of news organizations pointed typographical and formatting questions about four documents as they considered the possibility that they were forged. The widow of the National Guard officer whose signature is on the bottom of the documents also disputed their authenticity.
The documents, which were aired Wednesday night on "60 Minutes II," bear dates from 1972 and 1973 and include an order for Bush to report for his annual physical exam and a discussion of how he could get out of "coming to drill."

And we all thought that the GOP Convention was fun.This is even better! Just wait until President Bush wins the election in a landslide...the Dems will go completely starkers.
hmmmmm, not so fast, MSNBC. You fell for it, too. It took Web-blogs to uncover this fraud -- with no help from Big Media.
President George W. Bush will win re election, but someone should pay for this outright forgery attempt as fact at CBS.
Too late...
In a telephone interview from her Texas home, Killian's widow, Marjorie Connell, described the records as "a farce," saying she was with her husband until the day he died in 1984 and he did not "keep files." She said her husband considered Bush "an excellent pilot."
Yes,they should be held accountable...BIG TIME!
True.........LOL
Questions? Questions? There is no question, they're forged, end of story.
William Flynn, a forensic document specialist with 35 years of experience in police crime labs and private practice, said the CBS documents raise suspicions because of their use of proportional spacing techniques. Documents generated by the kind of typewriters that were widely used in 1972 space letters evenly across the page, so that an "i" uses as much space as an "m." In the CBS documents, by contrast, each letter uses a different amount of space.
Bully for her!!!!!
CBS is already heehawing around, trying to avoid this by claiming they are not forged....tsk, tsk, tsk....
Aren't ya loving this? I know I am ;-)
Here's the next challenge - find the links from this guy to the Kerry campaign and MoveOn.org.
They're going to oh sooooooooooooooooooooooooo SORRY!
So what's the DU saying??? :-P
Yes, they should be, but it's unlikely. Look no further than Sandy Burglar. Swiping classified documents from the National Archives, no less. It sickens me, this biased crap.
Just look at what Howlin and Buckhead have managed to pull off. :-)
"they" are just hoping this will go away, CBS....but it isn't......
Love live Free Republic! ;-)
You're new here,so you don't know that Brit Hume used to use, ON AIR, what a group of us here found out and posted about what the Clintons stole.We thought that that was a BIG DEAL.Now,NOW just about EVERYONE is talking about this,because of one of Howlin's LIVE THREADS. This is far from over.
Bush takes lead over Kerry in CBS poll
So in a desperate attempt to save John Kerry's sinking ship, CBS unwittingly torpedoes the sinking vessel....
hehehe, bears repeating :-)
Counterfeiting
Bullsh!ting
Scamartists
And to think,we've been doing this kind of stuff for years now.Finally, FINALLY,we've hit the BIG TIME! :-)
Who did the forgery?
Who authenticated the documents?
Who engineered the smear?
We know who will pay for it. Kerry!!!!
The Bush bounce is still going thanks to some inept Kerry dirty tricksters.
Woooooooooo hooooooooooo!
What did Kerry know, and when did he know it?
They're saying it's a Rove trick
OR
They're insisting their fakes, and reading every typewriter manual from the era (I found that post really funny...like they could dispute noted experts in the field)
OR
They're actually saying that the Kerry campaign admitted getting the same docs weeks ago, but decided not to use them because they questioned their veracity, and this proves the Kerry campaign isn't involved.
Oh I do,I do,I do indeed. :-)
Indeedy ;-) It's a new day. The Big Media monopoly is sooooooo over.
On Aug. 1, 1972, Bush's commander in Houston, Col. Bobby W. Hodges, ordered him grounded for "failure to accomplish annual medical examination." His critics claim this should have triggered a formal board of inquiry. But Hodges said in a recent interview that this was unnecessary because Bush accepted the penalty and knew "he couldn't fly again until he takes a physical."
-----
Some media reports have speculated that Bush took and failed his physical, or that he was grounded as a result of substance abuse. Bush's vagueness on the subject of his past drug use has only abetted such rumors. Bush's commanding officer in Texas, however, denies the charges. "His flying status was suspended because he didn't take the exam, not because he couldn't pass," says Hodges.
Baloney. Everybody knows this was Halliburton ;-)
I'm just so giddy I have to sing. :-)
DITTO! ;-)
PS Hey guys! :^)
And my jaws ache something dreaddful,from all the smiling. :-)
I still say this is the reason for the memos:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2004/09/09/politics1729EDT0739.DTL
The memos changed the tone of the discussion about Bush and the TANG; before it was AWOL (didn't stick).
Now they can call him a liar, impune his honesty and integrity, and question his character with wild abandon.
They are truly evil.
This big smile on my face may be permanent ;-)
Totally agree. You've got their motives pegged to a 'T'.
G'evening :-)
This was an exceedingly badly done fraud,perpitrated by absolute cretins.But then,they never thought,for a second,that anyone would take a look at the documents and start tearing their shoddy work apart. This REALLY has been cold water a wake-up call. :-)
Mine too. :-)
Evil would be nice,compared to what they are.
