Look carefully....
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2004-09-09bushdocs.pdf
and
http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/BushGuardmay4.pdf
These purport to be the same documents.
Notice that the CBS version has a memo with a redaction that the other does NOT HAVE!!!
The address is blacked out partially on one, but not the versions from USA today.
BTTT
The CBS copy redacts the Longmont address. Which, at the purported date of the memo, was obsolete -- by about 18 months.

Hey, look carefully...
different "dirt" dots on the pages.
This was interpreted to mean that CBS had redacted the address (for reasons unknown) because, if text is blacked out and then copied, the text will be unreadable on the copy.
Ergo, CBS did not receive a copy of the document that had already been blacked out.
It is suspicious that they chose to black out the address, because there is no "privacy" reason for having done so. As it turns out, it looks more like trying to cover up an egregious error (the obsolete address).
How can the document be AT ALL GENUINE if there are multiple versions???
All this does is prove that document manufacturing has been going on.

"The CBS copy redacts the Longmont address. Which, at the purported date of the memo, was obsolete -- by about 18 months."
HOLY CRAP! Can you confirm that, please?! A link, something?! That's -devastating- if true.

Bush's TANG documentation lists his various addresses -- three of them, as I recall. Longmont was the second one, but by the date of the CBS "documents" he was living on Westheimer.
I don't have a link, but I've seen the timeline elsewhere on FR.
USA Today Copy the pdf's to your hard drive and open both in adobe.. switch back and forth and look at them.
Thanks, but I've been looking at those for hours. What I'm trying to locate evidence for is that Bush's Longmont address was 18 months obsolete at the time of the memos (May 4, 1972, apparently)

Thanks for the reply. I'm going nuts trying to track it down as we speak :)

Wish I could help. I can say that, on one of the CBS document threads, somebody produced a list of addresses and times.
But there are only several dozen document threads, with several hundred posts apiece...
Well, through googling, I've managed to confirm that Bush moved from "Houston" to Cambridge in September 1973. That's well after the date of the memos. If "Houston" implies the Longmont address, then no dice. If he had more than one Houston address though, then it's still possible this could mean something. I'm still looking, but I don't think I'm going to get much further with Google.

A little more detail. Bush moved from "Houston" (once again, no specifics) to Alabama in May 1972, the month of the memo. Still looking for an alternate Houston address.
