Experts backing off "forgery" claims.
Once again, the wingnuts are made to look like fools by the very people they worship. Local stores are experiencing shortages of KY jelly.
Authenticity backed on Bush documents boston.com
One of the document experts who weighed in, Sandra Ramsay Lines, was quoted by reporters as saying the memos looked like they had been produced on a modern computer program. “I’m virtually certain these were computer-generated,” Lines said after examining copies of the documents emailed by a reporter to her office in Paradise Valley, Arizona. However during a short interview with TiRC, Lines conceded some of her analysis may have been flawed. And surprise: Salon.com is reporting today the Sandra Lines, whom we interviewed yesterday -- (after poking some holes in her thesis that the documents were fake), is a Republican fundraiser.
We couldn't reach Philip Bouffard, the Ohio-based document examiner last night, but the Boston Globe did. It reports this morning that based on new information, Bouffard has reversed himself and now believes the Bush documents could be legit. This Is Rumor Control reported that he originally told The New York Times the documents might be fake because certain letters and formatting weren’t available in his typewriter font database. Further investigation by Bouffard yesterday convinced him the papers could have been typed on an IBM Selectric composer typewriter available in the 70s. Bouffard also says the Air Force had completed service testing for the Composer model, perhaps because they were going to purchase some. |
