<font size=4>An Officer Weighs In

We have received hundreds, perhaps thousands, of emails today on the 60 Minutes hoax. We can't begin to publish all the good points that our readers have made. One point we haven't emphasized in our posts today is that a considerable number of military and former military men have written us to point out discrepancies between the faked CBS memos and normal military practice. This email from a military officer is typical of many that we received:
<font color=purple>
As a military officer with extensive administrative experience I can assure you that the letter you have posted about 1st Lt Bush is an obvious fake. Apparently someone took old letter head stationary and created this document to include adding the 'th' when such a subscript was not possible on military typewriters of the time--I know, I used them.

But MOST GLARING is the omission of an 'SSCI' code the
Standard Subject Classification Indicator code which is
found on every piece of US military correspondence. The
SSCI must appear in the upper right hand corner and
include a subject code, the originator's initials, the
clerk-typist's code and the date. Every official military
document must include an SSCI--this officer (who most
likely never typed an official document in his career)
forgot to include it and probably could not even remember
the correct subject abbreviation code.

ALSO ON US MILITARY CORRESPONDENCE THE SUBJECT LINE IS ALWAYS CAPITALIZED-no self respecting military clerk typed this forgery nor would they type the date ‘14 May,1972 ‘ instead of the correct military style of ‘14 MAY 1972’ (no comma).

Other errors:

"Lt Colonel"-should be " LC" or " LTCOL" or more correctly "Lieutenant Colonel, (branch of service)

Commander-should read "COMMANDING"

Alger Hiss could not have created a more obvious fraud.
CBS has been duped--again.<font color=black><font size=3>

The Alger Hiss analogy is one that has occurred to us frequently today.
