Talk:Killian documents controversy/Archive 10

1848:

was challenged within hours on Internet forums and blogs, with questions initially focused on alleged anachronisms in the documents' typography and content soon spreading to the mass media." As far as your point that "most of the information still floating around..." being false, I guess I'm not sure, but in any case that's beyond our control - we need to make sure that the information floating around this article is true. As to your opinion that the remaining info "mostly becomes dubious" when scrutinized, etc., if there are reliable sources that reflect this, we should consider them. My understanding of that situation is somewhat different than yours, but in any case the article should reflect what reliable sources have published. Finally, with respect to timing, I am not really making an argument- I am stating that I think we agree that the Killian documents and associated controversy arose from a CBS News segment, which was part of ongoing investigations of Bush by various media outlets (and which are detailed in GWB Military Service controversy). As I mentioned above, I think the timing is significant from at least two perspectives and should be noted: one, the "they were out to get Bush before the election" argument, and two, the "they were rushing the story to air ASAP because of the election and this time pressure led them to make a number of egregious journalistic errors." There may also be other significant arguments to make about the timing, but I can think of at least two reasons to include it. Best,

4680:

you under-represent the number and proportion of experts who think the memos are forged. Since the majority of experts either failed to authenticate or think they are forgeries, shouldn't the lede reflect this? Also regarding "suggesting possible forgery": the suggestion of possible forgery was not limited to the typographical characteristics of the memos: the dubious provenance of the photocopies (a person known to have made unsupported anti-Bush allegations in the past), the lying about their source (Killian, "Lucy Ramirez," "I burned the originals,") the positive authenticated information from Killian about Bush, the recollections of the secretary who said they aren't genuine, the matchup with Microsoft Word, etc. are all parts of the "probably forged" argument. And on a separate note, I think everyone who edits here understands you think the memos are genuine. I think you understand that most of the editors here think they are not. This is a disagreement on a matter of opinion, not "gaming." I would be against it if editors here suggested you stop editing here "for the good of the article." Please don't make the corresponding suggestion in reverse. Anon editors and users who disagree with you aren't "gaming the system" by forcefully arguing with you about the facts. Best,

6093:

think the editors here who disagree with you have shown amazing good faith by even replying to your most recent seven points, given your history of hostility and insult. I especially liked where you share your opinion that "the contents of the original CBS newsast is ludicrously mis-described in the article," but when I agree that it could be improved, and edit the intro to include direct quotations from the segment and its analysis by CBS, you call that "editorializing" and worsening the article! At times, I have been the most willing of the editors here to assume your good faith, and even to make editorial changes to the article that support your fringe POV - remember when I deleted "doubtful authenticity" from the intro, without discussing it? You didn't complain about me then...But I am tired of being called obstructionist, gaming, disingenuous, nonresponsive, etc. You have threatened RFC and other remedies, etc., so let's have it, instead of bullying the editors around here with process-threats, just open your RFC and we'll see what the community thinks. Again.

2797:" requires analysis in your mind, but without explaining why in either case. Here, instead of my again restating my entire original argument, which you never responded to, all over again, I'll just move it to its own separate section below. Please read through the entire piece and address at least the major points if you could. Also your request to find another secondary source is besides the point -- I had clearly (I thought) laid out a situation where a primary source contradicts an implication from a secondary source, specifically a Washington Post graphic. This is a singular case that was evidently not looked into by any other generally recognized reliable source. So you asking for another secondary source appears to be both disingenuous and not really connected at all with my whole basic point. I'm not really throwing out accusations -- I'm merely pointing out how I've been having to restate, restate, and restate some more my points and arguments given the off-point/off-topic responses I've been getting. You and some others here might want to look at 5515:

or disagree matters. I think that's a useful point for me to make in response. By the way, you can save your effort, I understand your reply on this point, you don't need to repost a long screed on the topic. I'm telling you in advance that your apparent inability to consider that you might be in error, and the mistakes I have seen in your work (which I did look over) causes me to give your research little probative value. This will be true no matter how many times you repeat it. I'm going to make this very clear. If you argue "Point X could not have been known before Time Y because I personally have not seen a document before time Y in my research", my conclusion is going to be that you didn't do enough research, NOT that the documents aren't forgeries. I WILL NOT spend days and days doing research of my own on when Point X was first known to people who might have forged the documents. Decisions have to be made on partial information and with inductive inference, and there's real-world limits due to the length of human lifespan. --

of point about the WP or NR or other reporters' work being wrong would require analysis on the part of the reader. I am attempting to answer your desire to include such additional primary source documents: I think it is original research, yes, despite the material you have pasted from WP:OR. I am directly replying to your contention "the accuracy and applicability of which is easily verifiable by any reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge, and make no analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims about the information found in the primary source". I disagree that this is a case of the above. And as long as you are throwing around accusations that I am ignoring your efforts, how about this one, I think it is the third time I am asking you to find a secondary source - since your argument is essentially that it would be obvious to any observer that additional primary source documents will show how the WP or NR was wrong in their analysis, and in fact,

Lieutenant Colonel Jerry B. Killian. Four of the memos were presented during the CBS news show, 60 Minutes Wednesday, on September 8, 2004, as part of a segment covering Bush's long controversial military service. USA Today published all six memos the day after the CBS broadcast. Some conservative bloggers began claiming within hours of the CBS broadcast that the memos were forged due to their being proportionally printed. The major news organizations eventually took note of the blogger claims, and it later turned out that the memos had not been fully authenticated by CBS. The CBS personnel responsible for the segment were later fired after a highly critical independent panel review, but the question of whether the memos were forged or not was never fully resolved: some reporters and military people see the contents of the memos fitting in with what's known about Bush's Guard service while some typewriter and typography experts see the font used in the memos as suggesting forgery.

3648:, "forgeries" appear relative to what others were claiming, including Scott McClellan and Dan Bartlett of the White House. The comments by McClellan and Bartlett actually seem to be a bit disingenuous -- CBS had faxed all the memos to the White House for comment a day before the report aired, and the White House simply released them to other news organizations. Since Bush should have been able to tell at a glance if the memos were real or not, that was a seemingly odd thing they would have done if they truly believed the memos had been forged. I suppose I should point out that Bush has never to this day commented on whether the memos were real or not despite the massive coverage the story generated and him knowing more than anyone else still alive if they were accurate or not. Actually, now that I think about this -- shouldn't this seemingly not trivial point be mentioned somewhere in the article? -BC aka 3238:

Jerry B. Killian, and appeared to provide additional evidence supporting other investigations and long standing allegations regarding Bush's military service. Four of the memos were used by the CBS news show, 60 Minutes Wednesday on Sept. 8, 2004, and all six were printed by USA Today the following day. However the appearance of the memos, especially their proportional typeface and superscripts, led to doubts of their authenticity. A subsequent, highly critical independent panel review commissioned by CBS found many problems with the authentication process and the CBS personnel responsible were later fired. The question of whether the memos are genuine or not was never fully settled: while their contents generally fit in with what's known about Bush's military service, some typography and document experts see their formatting and appearance as suggesting possible forgery.

6078:. The Panel report, which is actually kind of an overall mess -- not only did they made a complete botch of the "meshing issue" via some rather peculiar "interpretations" of DoD records, including not even getting who Bush's commander was, but they apparently couldn't even look up what the correct format was for a military memo for record (this alone should make Dan Rather's lawsuit very entertaining when/if it hits the courts) -- had nevertheless noted that Matley, the lead document expert, thought the Killian signatures on the memos and the DoD docs "were done by the same person". Which makes your recent editorializing edit to the main article unwarranted and not at all conducive to making the article better. One can actually make the strong case that it only made an already bad article worse. Do I dare ask Agree/Disagree? -BC aka 4476:" -- that's exactly what me and some others have been trying hard to make you understand. It's OK to mention that some experts think that the memos are probable forgeries -- just don't stick it in people's faces at the beginning as though that's the entire story -- that would be grossly in violation of Knowledge (XXG) guidelines involving NPOV. There is no serious disagreement that the contents of at least some of the memos match up with official records and what media investigations have shown -- even the not so investigative investigators on the that CBS panel report had to admit that -- and you have to admit that pretty much counterbalances the forgery claims, which were indeed primarily blog driven. And I have to caution you that it's a bit unreasonable for me to spend so much time here simply trying to get you to follow 5582:

cite is from much later in time. And the Service Chronology document doesn't have a true superscript (both small font and raised above line). So that's two critical errors in two sentences. Errors like that cause me to make an inference that, while you are certainly dedicated and enthusiastic and operating in good faith, your work sadly doesn't hold up. Thus, future offering along the lines of how-about-this? and-that? and-the-other-thing? incline me to react that there's an error not worth wasting time analyzing, rather than taking an approach that you're right unless I can prove you wrong (which, given experience like the sources argument above, seems to be a fool's quest). Similarly, asking if they "fit" is meaningless because it's reasonable they've been forged to "fit". Having to

purportedly written by Bush's then Guard commander, Lieutenant Colonel Jerry B. Killian, and appeared to provide new evidence supporting long-standing allegations critical of Bush's military service. The documents were presented as authentic by CBS anchor Dan Rather in a broadcast aired toward the end of the 2004 U.S. presidential election campaign, but the appearance of the memos led to doubts of their authenticity, initially by conservative bloggers and later by experts contacted by the mainstream media. An independent panel review commissioned by CBS found that there were substantial questions regarding the authenticity of the documents, which had not been properly authenticated by the producers of the broadcast segment, leading CBS to fire the personnel responsible.

4557:, who kept reverting my stuff, including putting back the wrong service. So basically from October 7th of last year to this very day, the lede has had blatantly and elementary wrong info that nobody has bothered to fix. Indeed it was my suggestion for the improved lede above that had the correct service branch back again. Of all the current regular posters, it appears I seem to be the only one who seems genuinely interested in actually improving the article the way Knowledge (XXG) intends. For all the verbiage spent on this page stonewalling my suggestions, the bottom line is that all this has accomplished was to keep the article an embarrassing mess. You should ask yourself -- "What have I actually done, and what do I intend to do, that will actually 5995:: see T-B p. 134: "The Panel concludes that while certain of the Killian documents mesh well with the official Bush records in terms of content, there are several significant inconsistencies that undercut the meshing notion. At a minimum, the inconsistencies should have prevented an unqualified assertion as of September 8 that the Killian documents fit precisely into the pattern of the official Bush records." Also, same page, "The Panel concludes that there are significant differnces in these areas between the Killian documents and the official Bush documents." So the answer to your question is: Disagree. The Panel did not find that the KD were consistent with official Bush service records, as asserted by the TV segment. 2421:" that's strictly your personal opinion and personal opinions have no bearing here. And not that it also matters, but I'm perhaps a tiny bit more informed in this situation than most, and frankly it looks to me that all the forgery claims have major discrepancies with the best available evidence regarding common early 70's office technology, the past use of proportional typefaces, how well (or not) one can replicate all of the memos with Word, proper format for military memorandums for records, content, and so on. You would likely be quite surprise about how many commonly held beliefs related to this topic are flat out, well, wrong. But that's neither here nor there for the purposes of this particular discussion. -BC aka 3824:"! Because they were highly controversial, were used as an excuse for nasty personal attacks against Dan Rather, embarrassed a major news network, got people fired and maligned, and in general caused all sorts of turmoil in an election year. They were only 6 short memos, readable in a minute or two, and they mostly involved a major incident in Bush's life, his being suspended as a pilot. The odds of him not remembering at least the key details with the documents in hand is nil, especially with his dad being a prominent politician at the time, as well as a one time decorated pilot himself. With Killian and Harris dead, that left only Bush knowing completely what happened then. His behavior in maintaining a 1546:

experts before portraying the documents as "from Killian's personal files," or might have looked closer into Burkett's history of making anti-Bush claims, or any of another dozen things (remember the "rush to air" that is mentioned in the internal CBS investigation). So the timing is significant and not only as an implied anti-Bush move by CBS, but also to show how their rush to put it on TV helped them ignore their own standards and practices about authentication. Finally, the burying of subsequent FOIA related Bush stories - I don't think that's a lede subject for this article about the Documents but I think it could be included in the article if it can be supported with a citation.

comments critical of Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard. Four of the memos were presented as authentic in a 60 Minutes Wednesday broadcast aired by CBS on September 8, 2004, during the 2004 U.S. Presidential election campaign. USA Today published all six memos the day after the CBS broadcast. Some conservative bloggers immediately questioned the authenticity of the documents, and major news organizations eventually reported significant doubts about them. The CBS personnel responsible for the segment were later fired after a highly critical independent panel review, which concluded that the memos had not been fully authenticated by CBS.

5765:

superscripting in the context of all the fuss that was made about this, along with proportional printing? From that earlier discussion we had, it came out that the undated "biography" was likely typed up during in 2000 while fulfilling a FOIA request. But my issue then was that the font and superscripting does not at all resemble that from a modern computer -- Agree/Disagree? Also, could not your comments and claims here, when combined with your "method" of dealing with points and questions, be possibly seen as indicative of an overall intention to not actually improve the article? Well? -BC aka

2081:." And if you also recall, The Tongue and Quill, which is indeed the defacto "Air Force style manual" has its origins to 1975, just a few years after the memos. And lastly, you may also recall that those other military memos I found were not only contemporaneous to the Killian memos, but some predated them as well -- and they all generally showed the same formatting as shown by the Killian memos and recommended by the Tongue and Quill. So basically there is no supporting evidence or references at all to support the lead paragraph 3790:

Moreover, I don't think the White House (or most of the public, for that matter) considered the long-standing allegations about Bush's conduct as a young man to be of any real concern, even if true. Yes, they were a big deal to Bush's opponents, but so what? They weren't going to support Bush in any case. And would it have made the slightest difference to them if Bush had said that based on his personal recollections the documents must be forgeries? Of course not. But again, this discussion is not relevant to the issue at hand.

3516:"Moving the goal posts?" I apologize if I didn't make myself clearer -- what you wrote for the Guardian appeared to be only an opinion column. This second reference also appears to be an opinion column. As I pointed out earlier, Neoconservative William Kristol writes columns for the NY Times, and there is no reason to think that the UK Guardian columns you referenced reflect the Guardian's news coverage anymore than how Kristol's columns reflect those of the NY Times. Does this not seem logical? -BC aka 4212:

Professional/Technical Writing, and a Ph.D. in "Language and Rhetoric, Theory of Criticism." He has no qualifications or experience in forensic document authentication. And not only is Hailey no expert; he has never said that he believes the documents are authentic.

And again like some others, instead of responding to points and questions presented, you offer up unrelated tangental points.

I suggest those of you genuinely interested in improving the article go look at my major points above, view the entire original 60 Minutes II broadcast as well as the short version (links are above) and see if the entire article really is a bit of mess in terms of accuracy, content, and balance. -BC aka

750:" memos purportedly written by Bush's TANG commander, that were used in part of an ongoing media investigation of Bush's military service? You already have the word "controversial" which is much more neutral and accurate, so sticking in "doubtful authenticity" clearly crosses the line in sticking in a personal POV. Agree/Disagree? 688:

more neutral lede tone would be to simply note that the Killian documents are 6 memos purportedly written by Bush's former commander, used in news stories by CBS and USA Today, and that their authenticity became an issue starting with claims of forgery originating from conservative/right wing bloggers.

Hi BC. I have to agree that changing the branch of service in a single edit would hardly have been a controversial edit. Let's take this as an example that working together to improve the article can actually happen. In my opinion, your proposed factual/npov lede has problems. For example, I think

sources that make this point. Show me a few, or even one. But using a primary source to refute the conclusions of the WP is analysis. If it is in fact, so simple and clear, that it has stripes and could only be a Zebra, then I'm sure someone in the mainstream media will have connected the dots.

That sounds like you are claiming that this article should not be so much about the Killian documents per se, but only CBS's story involving four of them, and that USA Today and the other 2 Killian documents are too inconsequential to bother with.
