MSNBC – CBS stands by documents on Bush’s Guard service

Almost as soon as the documents were made public, questions were raised about their authenticity, with some experts saying they could be forgeries based on typographical examinations.
The CBS statement released Friday said: “(T)he documents are backed up not only by independent handwriting and forensic document experts but by sources familiar with their content.

Some experts said the typeface used in the documents was Times New Roman, a typeface they said was not available in the 1970s. But CBS reported that the owner of the company that distributes that type style, which it did not identify, said it had been available since 1931.

the “expert” (who is the only one cited, the others are non-experts who say “It looks like a forgery”…..OK)
says this:
Independent document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines said the memos looked like they had been produced on a computer using Microsoft Word software. Lines, a document expert and fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, pointed to a superscript — a smaller, raised “th” in “111th Fighter Interceptor Squadron” — as evidence indicating forgery.

CBS:
Critics claim typewriters didn’t have that ability in the 1970s. But some models did, Rather reported. In fact, other Bush military records already released by the White House itself show the same superscript – including one from as far back as 1968.

Bada Bing again! Forgery accusations, null and void!
