You wish you could dream it was false, but the articles keep coming.
Here's another one.

Is It a Hoax?
Experts weigh in on the 60 Minutes documents. Says one: "I'm a Kerry
supporter myself, but . . . I'm 99% sure that these documents were not
produced in the early 1970s."

I wouldn't be surprised to find that 60 Minutes cast some lines about,
offering to pay for similar information and by doing so, set themselves up
for getting "werked"!

If they turn out to be forged, it would be a further indication that 60
minutes was willing to take the info and run without validating it.

Here's a suggested topic for a 60 Minutes expose on their own stafers:
Blinded by Bias!

And you're certainly not biased JD.

It's pretty unlikely that 60 Minutes "ran" with the story without a fairly
strenuous attempt to validate the documents. They might have been wrong and
it might turn out that the docs are plants, but 60 Minutes is regularly
challenged by all quarters and I've got a feeling that they go out of their
way to vet anything they present as "evidence."

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

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

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5952048/

.... 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.

32-year-old documents produced Wednesday by CBSNEWS 60 MINS on Bush's
guard service may have been forged using a current word processing
program.

typed using a proportional font, not common at that time, and they
used a superscript font feature found in today's Microsoft Word
program, Internet reports claim... Developing...


Developing? Actually already DEBUNKED!!!

Electric ball typewriters could do that, and the US government
had lots of them.

You guys are desperate and in total denial.

Bush deserted and there is proof of that.

Smells just like Cheetos. Maybe if you wash your hands the smell will go
away.

Ya right!


It doesn't mean the original documents were fakes. The original documents
after 32 years probably were faded, discolored and not legible.


Huh? I have documents much older than that that are perfectly legible.
There is no reason these 32 year old docs should not be legible.

They were
almost certainly reproduced using a Microsoft spread sheet in order to make
them more legible.


So why attempt to reproduce them exactly if all you want is to get the
wording of the documents. Just explain, the documents have been retyped
word for word for legibility.
