they were first released by CBS." Furthermore, the situation has become more complicated, not less, because of the emergence of a new theory: that Bill Burkett created these documents in 2004 but that their content was substantially based on genuine 1970s documents that Burkett possessed or had seen, and that he was trying to get the information out while disguising the source enough that he couldn't be fingered. They were faxed to CBS from a Kinko's near his home, so his effort (if such it was) was clumsy, and maybe someone will claim that the choice of a Kinko's was part of an attempt to frame Burkett for a forgery. I'm afraid that, for at least a while longer, we're going to have to subject our readers to this bothersome business of considering the evidence, rather than simply handing down a decision from the Council of Knowledge (XXG) Sages.

about them, then, yes, we should report it, even if it tends in support of a different conclusion than does most of the other evidence. As for your concluding comment, I don't think this incident will figure much in the final vote. People predisposed to support Bush will be certain the documents were forgeries and will be eager to point to them to discredit anyone who disagrees with Bush about anything. People predisposed to oppose Bush will remember the established criticisms of Bush's military record that long preceded these documents, and many of them will accept the theory that Karl Rove was behind the whole thing for the precise purpose of discrediting Bush opponents. The swing voters, meanwhile, will probably care more about stuff like Iraq and the economy. They're funny that way.

authentication experts contacted by the major news media and bloggers have indicated a strong likelihood that the Killian memos are forgeries ...." What would the complete alternate version say? "And the ones that don't are obviously partisan hacks who are trying to undermine our Commander in Chief while the nation is at war"? No reasonable person could read this article, which details every attack made on the documents, and conclude that the article was biased against the POV that they're forgeries. If there's specific additional information that should be added, not at all unlikely with a story that's still developing day by day, there's certainly no reason to believe that the only way to add it is to create a complete alternate version and put it to a vote.

not used in any of the Killian memos." If it means that there are instances of curved left and right quotation marks, it should say so and give an example. If none of the documents happened to use quotation marks, so that there are no left/right marks and no old-fashioned straight double quotation marks, then the reference to double quotation marks is irrelevant and should be dropped. Because it's being referred to, I assume there are left/right marks somewhere in the documents, so can someone more familiar with them insert an example? Once there's such an example, the statement that there are no double quotation marks becomes peripheral; neither the authenticity nor forgery hypothesis would predict a mixture of quotation mark styles within the same document.

yet of the provenance of the memos and there is honest disagreement about the case for forgery. To ignore evidence that we personally disagree with is to violate the policy of NPOV and abandon the duties of a wikipedia editor. Our job here is not to prove a case, it's merely to chronicle and summarize events and we have to put aside our personal feelings to do that job properly sometimes. I'm sure you sincerly believe these things are fake, but this isn't a message board, and overheated comparisons to the Hitler diaries and blood libel are pointless and counterproductive. Remember that this is a collaborative process and it does no one good to alienate those you should be working with. ] 01:22, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

experts actually saying? Just because one of the 11 casts doubt upon a superscript doesn't mean that they believe that it was created in Microsoft Word. And is an expert in 1970s typesetting an expert in the capabilities of Word and Photoshop? The leap from possible forgery based on the capabilities of 1970s equipment to definite forgery created by Microsoft Word and Photoshop is not one that is substantiated even by these experts. And the Word + Photoshop scenario is veering into tinfoil hat territory, frankly. What evidence is there that Photoshop was used? Why would someone Photoshop a word doc instead of buying a typewriter at the Salvation Army store? ] 19:06, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

the fact stated in the second sentence. The Washington Post reference provides additional specific evidence along these lines, but does not alone provide sufficient clarity. The additional text is useful to readers in clarifying the argument that is being described, while leaving readers free to reach their own conclusions as to the strength of the argument and evidence. Although some editors may feel the information in the additional text is implicit in the Washington Post reference alone, making the points explicitly is likely to be helpful to many readers. Removing this text simply serves to obfuscate. If someone believes otherwise, please discuss here before deleting the text again.
1890:
either auto carriage returns or you come to your predefined margin width). Then split the difference. Then if it still isn't exactly centered, you can repeat the process with a finer tuned adjustment (ie the pseduo kerning feature of the Selectric). You can try this in Word if you like (but as far as I know it doesn't let you do pseudo kerning like the selectric, so doing it by hand won't necessarily allow you to achieve as exact results...) Once you have found your exact number of leading spaces and pseudo kerns, write it down, and reuse it each and every time, resulting in the exact same perfectly centered header.
1348:. Of the two listed as supporting the proposition that the memos are valid, one is not directly quoted anywhere as supporting them and I can find no resume for her (Lynn Huber) and the other has stated that he is not qualified to judge a typewritten document's validity as he is only a signature expert (Marcel Matley). CBS pulling former typewriter repairmen who change their stories and a "software expert" is not going to cut it next to the credibility of the people who say the memos are frauds (developer of document layout software, developer of truetype font technology, multiple document validation experts, etc, etc.) 1655:, an anon has added the suggestion that the Kerry camp deliberately created refutable forgeries. I'm a Kerry supporter, so I don't want to be too hasty in deleting an accusation against Kerry -- but I can't for the life of me see how this would help Kerry. (Note that the context is the idea of deliberately creating documents on a word processor, so that a forgery would be discovered, rather than finding a 1970s typewriter still in working order. Doing that deliberately would be conceivable (however remotely) for the Bush campaign but not for Kerry's.) Can anyone explain this, or should the edit simply be reverted? 2942:
subpage. Put a link to it on the main page ("An alternate version of this article is available..."), but otherwise leave the main page alone for now. Once the alternate version is finished, you can ask the Knowledge (XXG) community for opinions as to which version is better. I suspect that once an improved version is available for direct comparison, it won't be a difficult choice. If any of the people preventing progress here attempt to disrupt progress on the alternate version, ask them to desist and if they refuse seek sanctions. I'm afraid that is the only way that progress can be made.
1475:
inventors of TrueType font technology, professional document validation professionals, and other domain experts are weighing in about what utterly unconvincing fakes these are. Sorry, these are all matters of fact and history, not matters of point of view. And the fact that CBS cannot get a real expert to validate their woefully pathetic forgeries and stick to their story, the fact that the Boston Globe "misquotes" experts who view these documents as fraudulent are sure signs that the mainstream media cannot be trusted to tell the truth until hit over the head with it by bloggers.
2814:"non-genuine genuineness" of the memos or other such Ratherite spinning, I'm welcome to allow them to do so, just as I am happy for members of the Church of Scientology to include an addendum to the L. Ron Hubbard article talking about the theory the we are all suffering the psychic pain of once being a little clam, snap, snap, snap. The fact that forged documents were used to try to bring down the President of the United States says everything that needs to be said about the AWOL Bush / Operation Favored Son crowd, to me, and to the majority of the electorate. 2521:
would have been found in the records, that point would remain. I have tried to improve the situation somewhat by including a link to, and a direct quote from, a major media story which gives some hard data on the 'other documents with the same look' topic, and which also lists it as a major point. I'm hoping that will be a helpful and productive step. If the people who disagree that these are separate points could explain their reasoning, that would be very good.
38: 2085:, but as long as you are wikipedia editors you have a duty to present the information evenhandedly and not create a brief for the case of forgery. It's not enough to add your pet theories and links and then assume someone else will stick in info for the other side, or just ignore the other side altogether. We have to each strive for NPOV individually, not assume it will simply emerge after each partisan gets in his or her licks. 627:. He also didn't do what the DailyKos said concerning shrinking the document. If you look around on LGF, he gives step-by-step instructions on how to duplicate the document. You should also read the link above from Joseph M. Newcomer. (The Flounder.com links.) He was one of the pioneers of desktop publishing. ABC, WSJ, NBC, etc. have duplicated Charlie Johnson's experiments. Kos came out of left field, literally, with that one. - 1422:
doesn't make it a credible theory. The memos are garbage, everyone with credible expertise knows it (Kerry supporter or Bush supporter). The experts have weighed in. None of them support the "Daily KOS" version of reality. This is not a political dispute -- this is a dispute about facts -- and the facts show that these memos are fraudulent -- mostly because the fraud is so POORLY done.
1398:
much about the story. Took me about 10 seconds to find the other side with Google. That's not a page history that buys a lot of credibility with me. So, I'll not be too quick to jump on board with whatever your opinion might be. When there is no longer a dispute, I reckon it will be clear as the lack of dispute will be undisputed. Until then, there is a dispute.
2536:
the WPost quote (and someone less quick on the uptake might not get the point unless its put explicitly). Can someone please explain to me what harm it does to explain the significance of the WPost info? Please, this document needs major work elsewhere - can we stop having a donnybrook over one miserable little, relatively inconsequential, sentence? Thanks!
2136:
against the considered opinion of vast numbers of professionals document validation professionals, developers of font typography, developers of DTP software, from every side of the political spectrum. Some of them the absolute tops in their field with impeccable expertise in fonts, truetype character pair hints, forgery detection, and other relevant fields.
2175:
documents, if that got put in. But the bottom line is that the so-called "evidence" of the pro-authentication types is a bunch of nonsense and misunderstandings about the nature of copied, faxed and digitized documents. The arguments don't hold an ounce of water and virtually refute themselves to anyone familiar with the technologies involved.
1966:
as the primary reason it is 'impossible' that the memos were typed. (I am convinced by other evidence that the memos are forgeries, but the forgery arguement should be made on facts, not false claims). Did you bother to try my method in MS Word? I got results that were within a pixel using my method, and it only took about 30 seconds to do.
687:
overhead. This article will be of historical interest for decades to come as a sign of the new media taking the old media to the mat and thrashing it, along with the very important story of how Dan Rather and 60 minutes cast away their credibility forever in the pursuit of victory for their choice in political candidate. Game over.
1878:
do that). Centering a proportionally spaced text is substantially more complicated and involves either measuring or computing widths of all involved characters (and, in case of kerned or "hinted" text, the width of a text is not even equal to the sum of character widths). But this point has been addressed in the literature already.
512:"Numerous" would be a minority, though. Let's not declare give it an {{NPOV}} tag until we're further into this thing. I think that once either time has passed by, or the situation has reached resolution, it will straighten itself out. Anyhow, two of the main experts who vouched for it on CBS' behalf have backed out. - 1140:
documents could have been prepared on an IBM Selectric Composer typewriter available at the time. He changed his opinion after comparing the memos to contemporaneous Interpol documents known to be written on the Selectric Composer. "You can't just say that this is definitively the mark of a computer," Bouffard said.
2545:
mystery anyway that some view this as evidence of forgery -- it's in a bullet list of 'flaws' and the WP calls it a major concern. The 2 sentences have no added content whatsoever except to lead the reader into a particular interpretation of the facts. In what way is having the WP quote by itself deficient?
1578:
That means the only controversy is that the Daily KOS, Dan Rather, a typewriter repair man and a bunch of leftists think they are real. On the other side you have a vast array of experts in font technology, 1972 typesetting technology, and document authentication all weighing in with "blatent forgery".
3428:
This story just gets more and more fascinating. Now it looks like Lockhart and Cleland have their fingerprints on this story too, along with Burkett. In conjunction with the amazing coincidence of launching the Operation Favored Son campaign (with a kickoff by John Edwards) a few hours after the 60
3165:
Lost in the discussion of CBS acknowledging that they can't authenticate the memos is the fact that they admitted they came from Bill Burkett. Burkett has a reputation of being vociferously anti-Bush and having a grudge against Bush and the TANG. He claimed to have gotten them from another Guardsman.
3146:
To clarify, by "massive restructuring," I do not mean "deleting information." I mean that we will have to begin reorganizing it less as a current event and as more of a historical event. The organization right now stems largely from the flow of information over several days, whereas it probably needs
2833:
I'm not clear on what change you want to this article, given that it already characterizes the opinions of the "vast majority" of experts, which seems even stronger than your "large majority". The Hitler diaries were the subject of a court decision, but, even so, if there's some significant evidence
2643:
In the last 15 hours, this page has seen 50 edits - many of them part of an edit war, with content being repetitively added and removed. I understand that this is a fast-developing story, and it's reasonable to be editing to add new stuff which is just coming out, but there's no reason for these edit
2589:
The subject of this article is the Killian memos, whose authenticity has been disputed. An important aspect of the article is a discussion of the arguments and evidence which might show whether or not the documents are authentic. The first sentence above indicates the significance in this context of
2544:
I cut it once, because it is spoonfeeding a perspective to the reader. Someone else had previously cut it on those grounds, and I completely agreed. The WP quote lays out the facts quite clearly. It is up to the reader to decide what to make of it; that's the essence of NPOV. It's certainly not a
2457:
Text of the form "I heard X say Y" is nothing like as helpful as a link to a source that others can consult and study, along with a direct quotation (so nobody has to believe anything you yourself say). If you could find a story in a major news outlet about this, and provide that (as I've been trying
1965:
Chan that was my point - the centering the first time takes a little bit of effort but is still fairly easy. However, if you record your results from the first time, then all subsequent times should give the exact same results trivially. Cema - as to the 'point being trivial' I've heard this stated

Kerry's campaigne now has CNN's James Carville and Paul Begala working for them unofficially. These are the same guys that worked for Clinton until the 1994 election that saw the Republican take over of both houses of Congress. Both men were knew for doing dubious things during the Clinton campaign
1327:
I've removed the 90% figure that was originally included because that is a number that INDC came up with, not Bouffard. When asked, he merely stated that 90% of known typefaces were eliminated as possibilities. To equate that with a 90% probability of inauthenticity is quite misleading. As a document
1130:
The Boston Globe quote that Wolfman inserted has already been shown to be nonsense. The Globe claimed further review left Bouffard thinking the documents might be legit. Bouffard himself claimed that after further review he was more convinced they were forgeries. Knowing that, including the Boston
1004:
Is this WikiNews or WikiPedia? This story has been out there, what a whole week? Plus, it's not just CBS that hasn't bought into the forgery claim. Maybe they are forgeries, maybe not. Time will tell, probably a week or two. At which point, this article will be irrelevant anyway. But honestly, I
2194:
Mention the Hitler Diaries all you want, but that's a strawman. The Hitler Diaries are indisputably fake, we know who created them, and he's been convicted of fraud. But these memos have not been proven forgeries, and repeating that claim over and over again will not make it true. We know nothing
2162:
Iā€™m not calling for "balance", where the article is 50/50 forgery/authentic. I am pointing out that there is evidence easily available for the pro-authenticity that the editors of this article have ignored in favor of tinfoil hat theories about Photoshop and claims from check forgers and Republican
2135:
A NPOV article would recognise what many of the mainstream news media have already reported, that all the experts are weighing in on one side or saying they cannot authenticate the memos. That is all I ask, not some mythical "Balance" that puts the ravings of a few extreme leftists on the Daily KOS
1877:
centered they are is not clear to me because I cannot quite tell where the right margin is. Furthermore, centering a monospaced text is easy, you just need to count the number of characters (sometimes a centered monospaced text would need to be shifted by half a character width, some typewriters can
1614:
We can never trust any of these "gotcha" documents again, especially anything from the MSM. Any future forgeries will be much better done from a typographic standpoint, and we will have to rely on content and format analysis errors. But even if they appear genuine, it is clearly no longer possible
1397:
You know Sda, I haven't been following this story at all since I've been very busy the last couple weeks. So, I'll have to catch up a bit. What I do know is that the article I bumped into didn't even have the slightest pretense of being a neutral write-up, and that was obvious without even knowing
1276:
lied. They just caught Bouffard partway through his analysis when new evidence was coming in every day. So we can give his current view and not waste too much space on detailing the steps along the way. I don't think the history is that important when things are so in flux. My impression is that
906:
I'm with Wolfman, there is no consensus yet, just a bunch of media outlets quoting the same few experts repeatedly. I doubt anyone here knows who the "top experts" are in the field of 1970s typewriters, and at least one person touted by the mainstream media as an expert is a GOP fundraiser. ] 05:29,
686:
CBS can't manage to get a single recognized expert to vouch for the document's authenticity, while over a dozen have stated that documents are likely or certainly fraudulent. The guys CBS and Boston Globe have run keep backing away from any sort of authentication as they see the tidal wave cresting
572:
may be a bit enthusiastic in his description of this fact, but it is the reality nonetheless. The actual issue at hand is of little consequence (and will likely not harm or help Bush much either way) but the effect that the Internet is having on the way CBS, specifically, and "old media" in general,
256:
I managedĀ :-) Interesting! So he seems to be saying that Word does not use kerning (by default) but the TrueType fonts use a kind of "pseudo-kerning" which also appears (according to him) in the memos. Is this good enough for a change to the article section on kerning? Or should we wait for more
187:
I think the name "Rathergate" smacks of a bias and we should avoid it. Also, I don't think this name has caught on in the mainstream media. I'm fine with Killian memos controversy, but I prefer the title the way it is. After all, the article is about them. And when the controversy dies down, the

2964:
The specific point Sdaconsulting has mentioned is to characterize the opinions of the experts: "We should state that the large majority of professional document examiners feel that the documents are probably or certainly forgeries." The current text says: "The vast majority of independent document
2941:
Sdaconsulting, You will never succeed in improving this article in the usual wiki way. Any attempt by you to do so will be vigorously resisted by all the usual suspects. You can't win, so don't waste your time. What I would suggest is that you create a complete alternate version of the article on a
2535:
I see people keep cutting the first two sentences. I agree that the second sentence is considerably duplicative of the quote from the WPpost, and we can probably dispense with it. However, while the first sentence is somewhat in the nature of explaining the semi-obvious, it does provide context for
2320:
The intro para has been changed to say: "Some experts feel that these documents are very forgeries; others do not", which makes it sound like expert document examiner opinion is fairly evenly divided. Here is what a couple of major news organizations say, about what the opinions are of experts they
2289:
I am going to edit the article at some point to update based on what is now known about the case. The article is very unweildy and needs some focus. If you have any relevant, credible experts that take CBS side, please post them here. I've read just about every major news article on the subject
2285:
Based on what I have seen so far, there is NO justification for saying the question is "up in the air". None. CBS ran with a bogus story, the people they hired to authenticate the memos refused to except perhaps one, who later backed off and said he cannot vouch for them and doesn't even have the
2252:
Two of the document experts hired by CBS News now say the network ignored concerns they raised prior to the broadcast of 60 Minutes II about the disputed National Guard records attributed to Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, who died in 1984. Emily Will, a veteran document examiner from North Carolina, told
2141:
I also ask that accusations from these memos be treated the same as other discredited hoaxes -- such as the Hitler diaries or the _Protocols_. That means we do not cite these memos as evidence in articles about Bush, just as we do not cite "facts" about jews "drinking the blood of children" in the
1923:
Did you try understanding what anonymous wrote? S/he is referring to using the space bar to count the spaces, and also using the pseudo-kerning feature to get better accuracy. Counting the number of "spaces and pseudo kerns" is just one way of "measuring the width of the white space". Presumably
1577:
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. There is no standard way to break lines. If you look at the combinatorial explosion given every line and every possible page breaking / text width algorithm the odds are astronomical. There are no credible experts that claim these documents are real. None.
1514:
Yes there is some distortion caused by the lens system in the copier after multiple generations of copies, some tracking errors from being pulled through a fax machine feed tray, and some pixel-level errors multiplied by the digital scanning and copying -- all to be expected and all what the forger
882:
Besides, if he is a typewriter repairman that knows his stuff, why didn't he tell everyone the make and model of the typewriter that was used? Okay, maybe that's asking for too much, but at least narrow down the company or companies that produced something that could do all these things back in the
654:
One of them has patents from the early 1970s for desktop publishing and font kearning (Newcomer, a Kerry voter, is one of the acknowledged leaders in this field, just Google his name), one of them has written desktop publishing software (Charlie Johnson), several are attorneys with many jury trials
543:
Yes, well that does raise the question of why there is already an article on this, now doesn't it. If the memos are proven fake, no article will be required as it will be generally accepted. Likewise, if they are proven genuine. So, the only real reason to have an article is to influence opinion
3122:
Agree. Also, your call for massive restructuring was a bit premature. While the documents are almost certainly fake (given CBS's statement) CBS has not yet stated they are in fact forged. Therefore, all the evidence ought to remain in place for now. Because some people might buy Burkett's line
2993:
Our current discussion of smart quotes is confusing on one point. It gives the example of a curved apostrophe in one of the memos -- fine, that's a powerful piece of evidence, graphically presented. Then it goes on to discuss double quotes and wanders off into saying, "Double quotation marks are
2734:
Is there anyone still around here who thinks there is a credible case that these documents are real, now that CBS is admitting they might be fake? I'd like to take a crack at reorganizing this whole document sometime this week but I don't want to get into some sort of edit war with people who are
2563:
They had a hypothesis ("a machine capable of producing the disputed documents was available to Killian in 1972"), and that hypothesis led to a prediction ("it would presumably have been used to produce other documents in the same office at the same time"). Then they needed to perform an experiment
2123:
The photoshop is a red herring. In one image photoshop was used to unwarp the image after being photocopied over and over again. Photocopiers and fax machines cause warpage and distortion in the documents, and repeating the operation increases the distortion. This is commonly known as barrel or
2102:
Your appeal to authority based on the list of 11 experts is dubious. Are these indeed the "top experts" in the field? How do we know that they are? At least one of them is a partisan operative, which makes me suspicious of how truly representative these experts are of their field. What are these
2098:
I think these documents may very well be forgeries, but once again, what you or I think does not matter. The case for forgery has not been proven, and let me point out some flaws in this call for consensus, not in an attempt to prove authenticity of the documents, but merely to show that the case
2020:
Since the procedure works exactly the same on a word processor as it would in a typewritter, you can convince yourself that procedure gives correct results (ie on one line have the autocentered version of the address, on another use the method stated, then print the document and note that they are
1788:
What troubles me is that your idea of "moving towards consensus" seems to be to try to get a bunch of Wikipedians to decide that the documents are forgeries, and then assert in the article that they're forgeries, as if it were an objective and indisputable fact, in the same category as saying that
1444:
was a KGB forgery. So in other words, we have a partisan operative and a man who was wrong about forgery before at the top of the list of "experts". What evidence is there that these 11 people are indeed the "top experts" in this field and not simply the people in some reporter's rolodex? These
1377:
Yes the mainstream media has covered itself with glory here haven't they. They dispute it, but they can't name a single qualified credible expert who backs up the laughable theory that these MS Word documents were written in 1972. I'm willing to compromise. If they continue with their stonewall
942:
CBS may not capitulate in our lifetime. Knowledge (XXG) doesn't need to wait for CBS to capitulate. The documents are fake, there are more than a dozen highly qualified professionals who have staked their reputations on these being very likely or certainly fraudulent documents. CBS can't name a
930:
I'm with Rex on this one. Yes, most document verification people are saying something between "these are impossible to verify" to "these are fake", and reputable journalism professors are calling for CBS to take on an outside agent to run a full investigation, but it's still too early to call it a
500:
I'm curious about this article. Right now, it seems like a bullet list of arguments that the Killian memos are forged. However, there are numerous experts who disagree with this assessment. And the journalistic community is, as yet, largely undecided. I'd be happy to offer links if the editors

The IBM executive had a 'pseudo kerning' feature - "On kerning: Kind of. The Executive had a half-space key that you could use for kerning. It was half the width of a lower case "i" as I recall. I only used it when I was actually doing some typesetting for a printing job and wanted to close up the

I've been discussing things here, instead of engaging in an edit war in the article, playing the NPOV card instead of making edits, trying to get the page locked, etc. I've been trying to get a consensus before I make edit changes. Perhaps I should be like some of the others here and just start
2797:
The Hitler diaries were forged 21 years ago and Konrad Kujau and Gerd Heidemann were sentenced to 42 months in prison each. By contrast, the Killian memos surfaced about two weeks ago and we have no idea who, if anyone, supposedly forged them. The situations are hardly the same. ] 01:50, 18 Sep
2761:
I'm still not on board with the idea that we should, as I described it above, "try to get a bunch of Wikipedians to decide that the documents are forgeries, and then assert in the article that they're forgeries, as if it were an objective and indisputable fact, in the same category as saying that

I agree it's a separate, and very different, topic. To show this, let's suppose (for the sake of argument) that someone shows up and does show how to produce the Killian memos on then-available equipment. That point would then be moot. However, if at that point no other documents with this 'look'

Second, as far as experts go, I don't really have the time/energy to troll every major media entity's coverage and see if they list any document examiners, and if so, who, and what their call is. Part of the problem is that many (e.g. the Washington Post, Time) don't list which document examiners

First, I'm gonna give you the same feedback I gave Rex - don't get so wound up. If you think some document examiners whose opinions are brought forward either have a bias, or have problems with their competency, then please just simply produce some data to speak to that. May I remind you that I'm

I'm sure Wolfman and I would be willing to work with everyone to come to some mutually satisfactory version of a statement that doesn't flat out say "everyone agrees" or "it's a proven forgery". We can start tallying up experts if you want, but I'm not sure that's a road we want to go down and I

The story states that they also consulted "forensic" experts (who would consider all aspects of the document), but alas they don't say how many, or summarize what they said. The story only says that the experts they consulted didn't agree - the implication being that some of them didn't think the

Gam, I know you aren't sure the documents aren't real, but you haven't demonstrated any expertise with the subject matter. The experts all say the memos are fraudulent. The secretary who worked with Killian says they are fraudulent, even though she thinks Bush is a devil. She says there was no

Until now I've been content to let others quibble about typefaces and superscripts and merely snipped off the most egregious examples of partisanship. But this is rapidly getting out of hand. It's like all of you are not even trying to present even a figleaf's worth of evenhandedness. I notice

Now that I've thought about this, it appears to me that the whole centered headers section ought to be removed or modified to indicate that it's easy to center headers using proportional fonts also. Once you center a heading once, then it's trivial to center it again and again the same way. The

Actually centering a proportionally spaced text is trivial as well, and would use the exact same procedure as the best practice for monospaced text. Just count the spaces before and after the text (easiest in a typewritter is just type your text left justified, and then count the spaces until it

I have started the category with all those listed above. Does anyone object to placing the Killian memo in that category at this time? Even if the letters turn out to be copies of originals, I think they still count as forgeries. I'm going to go ahead and add the category here. If anyone does

Why do you think the Washington Post came by this particular piece of data? Do you think that they just happened to randomly notice it in passing, and thought it an amusing curiousity they'd pass on to their readers? No, of course not. What you're watching, basically, is the scientific method in

The problem is that without doing something like that, and without CBS turning it all over to an independent investigation (a la CNN's handing of "Tailwind"), it's unclear to me how to produce a reasonably objective conclusion as to whether these documents are real or not. All we can do, in that
2089:
The case for validity of these documents rests on a reasonable number of qualified professionals stating that they believe the memos are probably or definitely real, based on all of the evidence. It isn't my fault that the forgeries are so obvious and blatant that nobody credible wants to stick

The punches are landing furiously to the stunned body of CBS News as competing news organizations go in for the kill. The veneer of civility and professional courtesy to Dan Rather and CBS News are vanishing as the language in news articles and editorials from the Washington Post to the NY Post

Since when is Knowledge (XXG) a news article, rather than an encyclopedia? As I recall, it explicitly is not. You think there's no dispute, TIME & CBS at the least differ. I'm willing to include in the article that Sdaconsulting feels there is no dispute, but not that there is no dispute.

Well, I didn't put a NPOV tag on it. I wouldn't do that unless someone tried to balance it, and the balance was rejected. At the moment, it very clearly is not balanced. However, I would prefer to attribute that to lack of knowledge rather than bias. Regards, until I get some time to work on

Someone has put a neutrality dispute notice on the article. I wasn't aware there was a dispute. I know Wolfman had some complaints, for example regarding the intro, but those seem to have been fixed. The article, as it stands right now, appears to me to do a good job of covering the available

Copying will often change the size of the original document. Photoshop has also been used to match document sizes between the word doc versions and the forged memos. Nobody is claiming that photoshop was used to create the forgeries. It is being used to undo lens aberrations and size changes

I haven't read anyone mention Photoshop as being part of the forgery. Read below for more about where photoshop comes into play. Several of the experts have specifically mentioned MS Word, and validated the experiments where an exact correspondence between word documents and the forgeries are

Sounds like a good plan to me. I'm happy just list the points people have raised, as well as the major, relatively centrist news organizations (e.g. WPost, MSNBC) who have consulting document experts (most of them not named, alas) and concluded that these things have a vert good chance of being

Are you suggesting adding this to the article? Thus far, Matley is not mentioned in the article. My understanding is that he was only used to verify a signature, so we would have to add something about how CBS used him in order to use this link. Since no one is refuting his finding that it's
1650:
I can understand the argument that maybe the Bush people created forgeries and deliberately did it badly enough that, after the initial furor, the documents would be seen to be forgeries, and people would suspect that the Kerry campaign had done it. That's pretty convoluted, but I can at least

CBS and Time cannot lie their way out of this. They have no credible experts, zero, zilch. Bill Glennon refuses to commit to a statement that he believes the memos are likely or certainly authentic, even as he quotes irrelevancies about the availability of proportional fonts and superscript.

Interesting ABC story; please make sure you add a link to it on the article page, please? Also, please don't beat up on Gam's expertise, or lack thereof - it's not helpful. I think your call for people to list document examiners who support CBS is a good one; if none can be found, that can be

While I am at it, why don't I go get some evidence for the authenticity of the Hitler Diaries and update that article too. The memos are fake. That's a matter of historical truth, not an item to "debate". I'll reread the article and see what someone put in about how Photoshop created the

You and I may be smart enough to "take the steps in threes", and immediately work out from the experiment what the hypothesis and prediction were, but the Knowledge (XXG) isn't just for Mensa members. There clearly was a hypothesis and a prediction, and I don't think it's NPOV to state it.
