Here is how the NYT plays the fact that the Swift vets have 58,000 donors. The number of donors is NEVER mentioned in the long article. Instead, we get this. It's getting so that I wonder why I bother to point it out anymore. Bush's Backers Donate Heavily to Veteran Ads By GLEN JUSTICE and ERIC LICHTBLAU Swift Boat Veterans for Truth said it had raised $6.7 million in a windfall brought about by its high profile in recent weeks. nytimes.com

Geez, if they don't have the original and relied on faxed or xerox copies, then they really are going out on a limb. Given what scanners and photoshop can do today, I'm surprised the signature was not more authentic. You could have scanned the signature and pasted it in with just pbrush.

CBS has really been snookered if they took copies of copies of what was supposed to be a 'original' document .... Does anyone know how easy it is to change an 'original' document, by copying it, changing it, recopying it, and recopying several times....Pretty soon, all the lines made by the changes are gone....Voila.... newly created document. Ditto with signatures on copied papers. NEVER trust a document that has a copied signature on it. Always have one with the original ink signature....The kind of ink that smears when hit with liquid... CBS and Dan Rather should have known this, and really, I think they did. Rather wanted so badly to try to smear Bush (again) that he rushed forward to try to do just that.
