Daily Kos :: Political Analysis and other daily rants on the state of the nation.

Boston Globe, via KOS: But specialists interviewed by the Globe and some other news organizations say the specialized characters used in the documents, and the type format, were common to electric typewriters in wide use in the early 1970s, when Bush was a first lieutenant.
Philip D. Bouffard, a forensic document examiner in Ohio who has analyzed typewritten samples for 30 years, had expressed suspicions about the documents in an interview with the New York Times published Thursday, one in a wave of similar media reports. But Bouffard told the Globe yesterday that after further study, he now believes the documents could have been prepared on an IBM Selectric Composer typewriter available at the time.

KOS: The main news outlets, including ABC World News (which I caught) are backing CBS. But let’s not get distracted by the trees and lose sight of the forest. Now it’s time to ask the WH to answer the charges. This story is very much alive.
