LOL. WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Three document experts who were asked by CBS News to examine memos alleging that President Bush received special treatment during his service in the Texas Air National Guard told CNN Tuesday that they did not authenticate the documents -- and one said the network "ignored" her reservations about them before a "60 Minutes" broadcast last week. rds.yahoo.com*-http://edition.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/09/15/bush.guard.memos/index.html _____________ Document Experts Say CBS Ignored Memo 'Red Flags' - Washington Post washingtonpost.com _____________ This one's particularly funny: Expanding on 'Expert' in CBS Memo Flap Wednesday, September 15, 2004 By Brit Hume The latest from the Political Grapevine: Expanding on 'Expert' It turns out that Marcel Matley, CBS' so-called "expert" who said the signatures on National Guard files obtained by the network are real, is not certified by the American Board of Forensic Document Examiners, has had no formal training in identifying either papers, inks, typewriters or photocopies, and has never been trained in a document lab or by any law enforcement entity. So where does Matley derive his authority? Well, according to the New York Post, he began his career trying to predict character traits through handwriting. In a 1988 piece titled "Spirituality in Handwriting," (search) Matley uses a woman's handwriting to conclude, "She has an excellent and rich animate nature with a healthy, instinctual libidinal energy which, when integrated, will propel her into dynamic and fruitful activity." Accusations Totally False? Speaking of CBS' experts, Bill Glennon,a "technical consultant" as CBS calls him, was on the network last night saying accusations that the documents are forged are, "totally false," and he insisted the superscripts and proportional spacing in the documents obtained by CBS did exist in the early 1970s. Glennon, however, is not a certified document analyst either. His knowledge of the capabilities of IBM typewriters comes from his work in the 1970's when he was a typewriter repairman. foxnews.com _________________
