Authenticity backed on Bush documents By Francie Latour and Michael Rezendes, Globe Staff | September 11, 2004

After CBS News on Wednesday trumpeted newly discovered documents that referred to a 1973 effort to ''sugar coat" President Bush's service record in the Texas Air National Guard, the network almost immediately faced charges that the documents were forgeries, with typography that was not available on typewriters used at that time.

But specialists interviewed by the Globe and some other news organizations say the specialized characters used in the documents, and the type format, were common to electric typewriters in wide use in the early 1970s, when Bush was a first lieutenant.

Philip D. Bouffard, a forensic document examiner in Ohio who has analyzed typewritten samples for 30 years, had expressed suspicions about the documents in an interview with the New York Times published Thursday, one in a wave of similar media reports. But Bouffard told the Globe yesterday that after further study, he now believes the documents could have been prepared on an IBM Selectric Composer typewriter available at the time......

The Boston Globe once again has put the blinders on and is determined to try to get Kerry in the White House at any cost.

They repeat the same false assertion as Blather - that the "th" in Bush's real Guard memos is the same as the one in the disputed documents.

" In fact, one such raised ''th," used to describe a Guard unit, the 187th, appears in a document in Bush's official record that the White House made public earlier this year."

Unbelievable! Or for the Globe, or "Glob" as we folks in Massachusetts like to call it, this is just par for the course.

The "th" in the authentic Bush documents is clearly not the same, as has been pointed out many times in the pages of FR. But hey, what can you expect from a newspaper that not only published as genuine "alleged" Abu Graib torture pictures that were quickly proven to be fakes, but the pictures were x-rated, with male and female body parts clearly being visible.

It looks the the article authors either ignored the reality of the two clearly different versions of "th" or took Blather's reporting at its word. Either way, the Glob needs to do a serious journalistic integrity check....

The patent bias and lack of objectivity of the Globe is shameful.

What a surprise!

[Always Right]

Even if it is possible a state of the art typewriter could do this, there is nothing to explain the phoney PO Box, which eliminates all doubts.

[Semper Paratus]

Killian did not like using the typewriter, Where are the 'type-overs' for corrections?

[PianoMan]

That was debunked, actually.

And this just in, out of Iraq...

The Glob may just be one little finger in the breaking dyke. I can only imagine that RATher's forgeries will be the subject of some of the Sunday Morning talking heads tomorrow.

The documents are fake. Period.

[capt. norm]

Flush three times!

We have CBS, New York Times, and Boston Globe all in the same commode.

I just hope this doesn't clog up the sewer pipes.

"Common" is an out-and-out lie. The only model that could even possibly do these things is an UNcommon, high-end IBM used by experienced professionals for use in creation of documents for offset printing.

You would still have to change font balls in order to get the reduced-size ^th, and they continue to ignore the fact that the one supposedly applying pressure was retired, and the one supposedly typing the memo to file didn't type.

Actually itBOSTON GLOBE PUBLISHED KNOWN-BY THE GLOBE-TO-BE-FROM-PORN-SITES PHOTOS:

The Boston Globe KNEW the pics were porn, knew they were from a porn site frequented by Boston Globe reporters,
and knew they were held by an admitted racist who segregates whites from meetings,
and outrageously and odiously said they were from "credible" sources.
The Boston Globe KNEW lies were being published so as to result in murders of Americans.

The proterrorist writers at the Boston Globe KNEW exactly what they were doing.

Click for full size porno posted in the Boston Globe used
to incite Islamic terrorists to murder Americans around the globe.

More examples?

From The Boston Globe's (and New York Times') own wars against the War for Enduring Freedom.

Turkish bombings, including that of the HSBC bank murdering a dozen people and wounding scores,
directly resulted from smears in the Boston Globe used to demean America and incite terrorists.
The Boston Globe front page article claimed the American liberation of Iraq from the murderous Saddam was a "rape".

The ever-lying Boston Globe (owned and operated by the New York Times)
on 5/19/4 falsely on the front page [above the fold]
reported that Israel killed two Palestinian children, EVEN THOUGH the Boston Globe knew
that the Arab children killed in Gaza died as a result of terrorists not IDF soldiers.
CONCLUSION: The Boston Globe is ONLY happy when inciting murder against Americans and Israelis.

See how the media spins? Does this mean it's going to be a dead issue? Or a slam against Americans for Truth?
