According to Knox, neither is correct.

It seems he has a history of this type of "journalism".

rather and his idiot crew had it explained to them that its impossible for anyone to have ever been deployed SEAL before age of nineteen. several SEAL including some former BUD/S CO explain to rather and friends exactly why this is impossible. they still ran the story on tv.

CBS seems to have used a source without fully investigating it's veracity. Rush Limbaugh and the rest of his mokettes are doing the same thing regarding the validity of the claim that these are fakes.

Hello pot.

Limbaugh doesn't pretend to be a journalist.

He pretends to tell the truth.

The memos are fake..

Here is the most in-depth expert analysis I have seen on them written by computer and text expert Joseph Newcomer:

Knox said as much.

Flounder needs to quit playing with fonts and find a woman.

So thats the new tack, eh sandman? It doesnt matter that the memos are now proven forgeries...

Hey whatever floats your boat..

He's a more accurate source of news than cBS. But that's not saying much.

Show me where I stated as much.

Some wackjob that likes to play with fonts proved that he could make the same documents at home. It's an awful lot of effort when you can go to Killian's secretary and she says, "I didn't type them. They're not authentic... but the information in them is correct."

Attack the guy and make fun of him for taking the time and using his expertese to disprove your dear fake CBS memos... Forged memos that are attempting to sawy a presidential election..

Pathetic...

CBS News will make every effort to resolve the contradictions and answer the unanswered questions about the documents and will continue to report on all aspects of the story.

Quote

"We will keep an open mind and we will continue to report credible evidence and responsible points of view as we try to answer the questions raised about the authenticity of the documents,"

While these are not out and out retractions, they definitely are backpedaling from the origninal brodcast that said that these documents were proof of Bush's ANG behavior.

Why should one defend CBS news for using questionable intellegence and attack Bush for doing the same?

What difference does it make? Knox already stated that she did not type them.

We now have solid "proof" from the fontgeek that Knox didn't type them.

Whoopee.
