The proportional font issue is a subtle one, but dispositive. Not all proportional fonts are spaced the same way. In fact, every typeface has subtle differences in the way that the letters are spaced. The Rather memos were spaced precisely the way that Times New Roman in MS Word is spaced. No other typeface on the planet is spaced exactly the same way. Lets see if we can put politics aside and see this as a purely technical/legal issue. 1. If it is true that it was printed from someone using MSWord to forge a document, CBS should be able to get to the bottom of this. Someone physically brought them this document. Where did they get this document? There is an audit trail. Someone has to be responsible for bringing this to CBS and made some representations that were false. They should be prosecuted unless they gave up the people that gave them the file/document. 2. If it is true that it was printed using MS Word, and no one criminally created this document, then there is a file stored in some computer somewhere that was created using MS Word or the file was copied into MS Word and converted. If the file was authentic, does it matter that it was reprinted using MS Word? 3. Besides bloggers "saying" there were no "word processing" equipment at TANG at the time, how do you know that is true? Were the bloggers expressing an opinion, or did someone who worked in Killian's organization at the time say that. 4. If we believe Marian Carr Knox (Killian's secretary) when shown the documents she said "These are not real," why do we not believe her when she said "the information in here was correct, but it was picked up from the real ones.". What real ones? Where are the real ones? What happened at TANG wrt George W. Bush is no longer immportant. What is important, is how do we get to the truth and how MSM handles their responsibilities. The font stuff proves nothing. It is just political noise.
