We noted earlier that the Boston Globe cited Dr. Philip Bouffard as its prime source for the claim that the forged CBS documents were created on a typewriter, but that Dr. Bouffard has now complained that the Boston Globe misquoted him and that in fact, <font color=green>"There are all kinds of things that say that this is not a typewriter."<font color=black>

Now, unbelievably, CBS News is relying on the Globe's misquotation of Dr. Bouffard to shore up their own untenable claims of the documents' authenticity! I guess I'm beyond being shocked by anything CBS News does, but they must have known that Bouffard has complained about the Globe's misuse of his name.

This is, of course, a sign of CBS's desperation, but it is revealing in this respect: CBS claims to have thoroughly investigated and validated the documents before they ran their story. Yet the key witness they relied on Gen. Bobby Hodges, has said that he was lied to by CBS News and that in fact, he things the documents are forgeries. Notwithstanding their supposed investigation, CBS is so hard up for ammunition to support their position that they have to repeat an already-exposed lie by the Globe.<font size=3>

Pentagon Sources: Documents Are Fakes

A reader emails us:<font color=purple>

KELLY WRIGHT [FOX NEWS]: <font color=purple>Tony, here's the latest that we're finding out on this story. At least three Pentagon sources believe the documents about President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard are fakes. CBS as you mentioned is standing by its story...

Good. I'm not as optimistic as many bloggers that just because we won the argument, we'll win the war. This story is one more thing that will damage President Bush unless the administration moves aggressively to counter it, and demonstrate to the majority of Americans--not just the news junkies--that CBS News has perpetrated a fraud of astonishing proportions in an effort to influence the election.<font size=3>
