MSH,

FWIW: In the news today the guy's wife is claiming that the
Bush Military Records ?documents? that are attributed to her
dead husband appear to be "FAKES".

* His widow, Marjorie Connell, told ABC News Radio:
"The wording in these documents is very suspect to me.
I just can't believe these are his words."

* "Col Killian's son, Gary Killian, who also served in the
National Guard, said he doubted his father would have written
an unsigned memo which said there was pressure to "sugar coat"
Mr Bush's performance review.

* Rufus Martin, the personnel chief in Col Killian's unit at
the time also said he believed the documents are fake.
"They looked to me like forgeries. I don't think Killian would
do that, and I knew him for 17 years," he said.

* Independent document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines said the
memos appeared to have been written on a computer with Microsoft
Word software.

* Ms Lines, a document expert and fellow of the American Academy
of Forensic Sciences, highlighted a small superscript "th" in
the words "111th Fighter Interceptor Squadron". She said such an
effect was created automatically with Microsoft Word. "I'm
virtually certain these were computer generated," she said.

* Bill Flynn, one of US's top authorities on document
authentication, added: "These documents do not appear to have
been the result of technology that was available in 1972 and 1973."

DRUDGE REPORT: CBS NEWS executives have launched an internal
investigation into whether its premiere news program 60 MINUTES
aired fabricated documents relating to Bush National Guard service,
the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Regarding the charge that the fonts prove the documents are fake:

BZZZZT! Try again. The White House distributed the memos ...


The White House got them from CBS.

... and didn't question their authenticity is well taken. As for the font not
being available in the 70s, the claim is that proportional fonts were not
available until the seventies.

In fact, they've been around since the forties.


Actually, proportional fonts were available in the 30's - but they
weren't common. But the documents in question aren't just proportional,
they're kerned, and they have superscripts with fractional height
letters. That's not a typewriter or vintage word processor. It's
typeset.

Someone said he keyed in one of the documents in Microsoft Word, printed
it out, scanned it in as a graphic and superimposed it on top of the
same document from CBS, and they lined up exactly. Horizontally and
vertically.

This means the default Microsoft Word kerning and line spacing rules
with the default font are identical to the ones used to prepare the
document. For every letter pair, in every line. That's incredible.

But an easy way to get a very strong indication of the validity of the
documents is to get other memos from the same guy that are known to be
real, from the same time frame, and see what they look like.

My guess is they'll look pretty crude compared to the questioned
documents.

A web of unashamed lies is unraveling at a very opportune moment. SMELL the
