But CBS News said in a statement: "The documents are backed up not only by independent handwriting and forensic document experts but sources familiar with their content.


Since CBS is now reduced to repeating the Boston Globe's quotes from Phillip Bouffard that seem to support the documents, even though Bouffard now tells INDC blog that he was misquoted and he doesn't support the documents, I think we may safely presume that there are no more CBS experts - at least none stupid enough to associate their name with this fiasco. BTW, CBS couldn't even spell Bouffard's name right when they repeated the Boston Globe's misquotes. The Globe at least got that much right.

I would think the forger would be "familiar with their content."

Note that CBS did not say that the sources "familiar with their content" vouched for their authenticity.
