If they aren't original un-retouched papers, NO ONE will believe them now.


If they think they can put out a bunch of photocopied documents now, they ARE fools.

Even if they are, why should we believe anything See BS puts out? As far as I know, after this recent fiasco with the phony documents they've already released, they've hired professional forgerers to get old paper, type stuff out on a TANG typewriter from 1972, and have the wording reviewed for accuracy by a then member of the TANG.

Once I'm lied to, I have a really hard time believing anything the liar says again. Sorry, See BS, you had your chance and you blew it. Go away, no one will believe a word you say.

I don't think they can retouch them now.. because they are in Pierce's hands. I think others have seen them too. I know I saw a discussion about this in relation to Burkett claiming to have reconstructed these. But, CBS is betting everything on this next set. This is why they held them back. Now its easy to treat these folks with contempt but the network is behind this now. Lots of heads will roll.

The fake but accurate story is a crock. But this next set has to be intended to be used after the Whitehouse issued some sort of denial which never came because FReepers climbed all over this before that next step could occur. I have thought of this as a machine where the wheels are coming off.. but they keep pouring the power to it.

Kind of reminds me of the scene in the Battle of the Bulge where the German General is trying to drive his tank up the hill to capture the fuel dump as barrels of gasoline roll down the hill toward him. With music blaring and all.

Just think of what it would be like if these were competent forgeries? or at least seemingly? What if they did produce documents that seemed authentic now? We have to come up with a list of 60 problems to be taken seriously. What if the next time there are only one or two? It sucks when you can't trust the news.

Ya' got that right! CBS/DNC/KerryCampaign have shot their wad already, gotten their powder wet, missed their only shot, etc. Anything that comes out now will be immediately dismissed as "more of the same old dirt". And if they had any originals, they would have played them by now. Nobody in their right mind would have led with fakes if they had even better stuff they were holding back. That is a stupid plan if that is what they are planning. But I don't think there is any more coming.

Will not matter if they are written on stone tablets. The damage is done. See-BS! is run by fools.

They could have said "Whoops! Thank you for bringing that to our attention. We will have all documents more throughly vetted in the future." Then when they came out with new documents they could say, "Check them out all you want, these are real. We made sure of it." The implication would be that they had learned from their mistakes. There would be some damage but not much. But after the way they handled it the first time no one will believe them now.
