The claim has been made on a number of Internet web sites that the memos CBS News released on Bush' National Guard service are forgeries-- and clumsy forgeries, created on Microsoft Word. CBS says that it stands by the authenticity of the documents, and says that they
confirmed them by talking to people who had seen them when they were written.A decent summary is at http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=40376
The really weird thing, if they are forgeries -- and the reduced-size superscript "th" after numerals is pretty damning -- is that the White House has not disputed the contents, only the interpretation. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.research.att.com/~smb ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
