Summary:

Charles Johnson takes the cake. He pulled up Microsoft Word on his PC [Oops. He says he used a Mac. My bad. —JH] and started typing, using all the default settings. Then he superimposed the memo provided by CBS News on top of his own re-typing of it.
Exact match.
These documents were produced with Microsoft Word on a PC.
By itself, that's no big deal. I mean, it's a big deal because CBS News should have made it clear that we were looking at reproductions of the memos and not actual photocopies.
But there's the nasty matter of the signature. The signature of Lt. Col. Killian who died in 1984.
How did that get on a document prepared with modern computer software and run off on a computer printer?


Another problem - a man named in the Bush memo had retired a year and half prior to the date of the memo:

AUSTIN, Texas - (KRT) - The man named in a disputed memo as exerting pressure to "sugar coat" President Bush's military record left the Texas Air National Guard a year and a half before the memo was supposedly written, his own service record shows.

An order obtained by The Dallas Morning News shows that Col. Walter "Buck" Staudt was honorably discharged on March 1, 1972. CBS News reported this week that a memo in which Staudt was described as interfering with officers' negative evaluations of Bush's service, was dated Aug. 18, 1973.
That added to mounting questions about the authenticity of documents that seem to suggest Bush sought special favors and did not fulfill his service....
