Interesting. Can any military Freepers corroborate?

There are a couple of threads like this going, Howlin is trying to get all the info consolidated in one place. Could you repost your info here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1210702/posts?q=1&&page=301
Also, AM, how can we best get these threads consolidated, so we don't miss some great investigative reporting from FReepers? Thanks!

Should we have an open thread on this to accumulate all of these points. If there is sufficient evidence, someone should compile and scower the media (I am sure Drudge will appreciate a good story on news media fraud.)

"Did CBS know they were using a forged memorandum on their 60 Minutes Hit?"It's not too early to go with this. Get it to the entire blogosphere, the New Media will follow, and CBS will take a major slam.

Don't suppose you could just tell us if the variable spacing statement is true or not?

Yep when I address a letter to my daughter it's 2DLT NOT 2nd Lt.

Almost forgot. The third "Bush Memo" is also misspelled. The correct abbreviation for lieutenant colonel on any ANG document is "LtCol," not "Lt. Colonel." Any LtCol would know better than to misspell his own rank.
<p.
These "documents" reek of fraud.

It seems there would be a finite number of typewriters used within the unit that authored the memos. Since typewriters have a unique signature, why not see if the memos correlate with any of the other documents done by this unit?
It shouldn't be too hard to establish given the volumes of paperwork generated by the military at the time.

After 20 years in the Army I can testify to the fact that rank abbreviations was/is a sore point in all military correspondence. I've never, never seen it abbreviated 1stLt. except by journalists in the press.

In official documents of any kind, proper rank abbreviations are strictly enforced, to the point that, if they are incorrect, the document has to be destroyed and rewritten
As a former training NCO for an Infantry Company, I can attest to this - in Spades.

This is a definite thing about abbreviations to rank.
A first lieutenant was always shortened to "1Lt." when I was in the USAF, and in the Georgia Air National Guard.
I am not sure that there is a hard rule for this, but I never saw it in the Air Force or ANG in other way that you listed it.
