Wouldn't it be something if it were discovered that those memos were faked?

'60 Minutes' Documents on Bush Might Be Fake
By Robert B. Bluey
CNS is the "Christian News Service."
Try to find a news source that isn't sucking Bush's dick, or vice versa, eh?
Well, how about the alleged letter's ex-wife (do you call them
Widows?), and son? Interviews with them cast large doubt regarding
the authenticity. Both say that Jerry Killian was not a typist. Even
his Personnel Chief said the documents appear to be fakes. Of course,
there is Bill Flynn (document authentication expert with an actual
NAME, unlike the un-namable CBS expert phantoms) who also said that
the documents don't appear consistent with 1972/1973 technology.
Every memo provided have neither words spelled incorrectly nor actual
typos. All memos seem to have proportionally spaced fonts. They even
use superscripting (smaller font, raised from the base-line) on one
document.
The "Memorandum FOR 1st Lt. George...SUBJECT: Annual..." even has the
first three header lines centered to within 2.5 pixels. The date and
the signature portions (not the signature proper, but the typed
version) are even within 3 pixels of alignment. That's impressive for
a non-typist. Heck, it's great for 1972 technology typewriters likely
to be used by the cheap Texas Air National Guard -- the rule is "if
one unit has it, they all have it". The IBM Selectric II was out at
that time (barely), but I don't think IBM sold proportional-supported
devices to the DOD (or war dept before them), and centering was
definitely not supported. However, tab setting was available. I
actually owned the selectrics (for personal use, and if the last one
hadn't broken down in the 1990s I'd still be using them, they are that
good!).
Now, for the other sources :
CBC (Canadian, remember, they think we're (or Bush at least) idiots) :
http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/nation...emo040910.html
ABC News has one too (I will omit Florida and Texas-related sites for
reasons of perceived sycophantism).
There is the weekly standard :

Voice Of America (ok, that might be biased)...
If Australia is "far enough away" then the Sydney Morning Herald has
an article, as does the IHT France (but that's basically a British
rag, as I recall). There are really quite a lot of pubs covering
this.
