the experts seem to disagree as to whether the documents were typed on old IBM's or new word processors. LOL. Find me ONE expert who says they were typed on ANY typewriter. The fact is even the two experts CBS consulted before airing the story warned them the documents showed obvious signs of being forgeries. And the third, who was not really a document expert at all, but rather a handwriting analyst who claimed to be able to identify personality traits by handwriting analysis, says he never authenticated the documents. He only gave an opinion that the signatures on two of the docs appeared to match Killian's signature on other TANG docs. Oh, and as you noted, NONE of the experts, and that includes CBS's, have seen originals. CBS only has copies - or so they say. Finally, with the preponderance of the evidence saying "forgery", one is foolish to hang his hat on "it was possible" to type them on a specific, not commonly used machine available then. You can't reject the hypothesis that they are fakes based on a one in a million chance that they could have been created at that time by that person.
