September 11, 2004 -- CBS anchor Dan Rather hung tough last night and insisted there's no "definitive evidence" to refute the authenticity of documents about President Bush's National Guard service — but a growing number of document experts smell a hoax. "If any definitive evidence to the contrary of our story is found, we will report it. So far there is none," Rather insisted.He produced a man named Marcel Matley as the document vetter.
But Matley is primarily a handwriting expert whose expertise in document evaluation has been challenged by the head of the American Board of Forensic Document Examiners.
Matley spoke only about a signature and initials purported to be those of the late Lt. Col. Jerry Killian — "they are his signatures" — though two of the four memos are unsigned.
Rather also acknowledged CBS has no originals, only photocopies.
Allan Haley — a typeface expert at Agfa Monotype — said anyone who claims to definitively authenticate a photocopy "is either guessing or is a fool."
In another challenge to CBS, Killian's boss, retired Maj. Gen. Bobby W. Hodges, told ABC News that he regards the documents as a computer "fraud," never saw them in the 1970s and didn't validate them for CBS.
A senior CBS official had claimed to the Washington Post that Hodges had validated the documents.
During his national news broadcast, Rather claimed "partisan political operatives" are challenging the memos but omitted the fact that Killian's widow and son dispute them.

Shouldn't this be "Don Martin Forges Ahead?"
BUMP-PING
He said exactly that, didn't he, Mo?
Howlin,
You are just plain sinister big time political operative who just happens to do Bush's dirty work in his pajamas.
We must all be RNC plants on FR.
Rather is an idiot.
What's the frequency again Kenneth?
I always wondered what you did for a living
Yep .. Steven Hayes called it a keep shot
Title should read:
RATHER FORGERIES ON!
Howlin, was he peeking or what? :-)
Well I don't wear pajamas.
NY Post editors have a great sense of humor.
More than we need to know.
