Seems to me that the original of that document COULD be viewed by an expert if that became necessary if CBS uses it as their "proof" that the 4 "new" memos are legit.

Assume for a second that the superscript on the 111th (once in that doc) is truly a superscripted "th" - do we know by whom and at what location that line of info was typed? Continuing with that assumption, it seems to me that the fact that it was available "somewhere" doesn't necessarily mean that Killian had it for typing up his personal memos. I think they are greasping at straws.

I agree. What Dan is going to say is that X model typwriter built in 68 can do a superscript th and here is a doc that has a sup th so there, the docs are lagit. Ta Da.

To me, this "superscript" does not even vaguely look like the superscript on the memos as it does not really appear to be raised - just a bit smaller print - as the ones in the memos are much higher than the original print and a lot smaller print. I could be wrong, but, it seems I read somewhere yesterday that at that time, there might have been a superscript available but that it was not with a proportional font. Just me, but I really don't see that this "superscript" has anything to do with the fake documents and if this is the best they can come up with to authenticate the memos, they are in deep kimchi - just my two cents.

As Rather says "unimpeachable sources", i say he's covering someone.

Dan is a big fund raiser for the DNC in Austin, Tx. So, is his daughter. So, is Ben Barnes. Hodges is there also.

I honeestly beleive his daughter handed these memos off to MS. Mapes in Dallas.. If so, Rather will go to his grave protecting her.

I looked at it under photoshop. I'm not sure what that is. It kind of looks like a superscript but it's not the same font as is used in the other memos. I'd love to see the orginals of that. I'm wondering if someone forgot to put st in and went back and wrote it in.

The TANG had a typewriter that could do superscripts.

Here's a link to the document:

Note that it is standard typewriter print, though, not proportional. It just occured to me that the superscript "th" is a single character on the typewriter. I think we all knew it would be created by typing one key, but the other half of it is that it is the same width as any of the other normal-sized characters.

Rather has no choice by to stay with the story. If he insists the documents are authentic, he will not have to reveal his SOURCE for the documents claiming journalistic privilage of protecting sources and methods.

If he admits the docs are fake, then he has no standing to protect his source. The more CBS stands by this story, the more likely it is that the source of these docs is the DNC / Kerry campaign...in my opinion. He has to be protecting something "important" in his mind (DNC / Kerry), and the candidacy of Kerry would certainly be something worth going to the mat over. In his liberal mindset, the end justifies the means.....he's defending the future of the world from tyrannical leadership of GWB.

Rather's report on the documents tonight was even more biased than the orginal 60 minutes report.

They only reported one side. It was a total biased white wash.

Rather looked like he was under a bit of stress. He knows it's false but you right, he can't say so, to much at stake.
