Just realized that we haven't hear from the world's foremost expert in forgeries: Frank Abagnale Jr. (Remember the movie Catch Me If You Can?) I bet that man is laughing his behind off. (Also see Abagnale's comments on the movie.)
Now, if he'd done these documents, they'd be on 30 year old paper, done with a 30 year old typewriter and ribbon -- and possibly with the exact same typewriter used in some real documents. Remember when the communists made anyone with a typewriter submit sample pages? Each typewriter is unique!
Thank you for your e-mail. Though Mr. Abagnale has not personally seen the
documents or copies of the documents, from what he has seen on television he
believes the documents are forgeries. He feels this should be evident to
anyone of any knowledge of forged documents.
I can tell you that he sent an e-mail to Neil Cavuto of Your World on Fox
News Network (he knows him personally) that stated: "If my forgeries looked
as bad as the CBS documents, it would have been "Catch Me In Two Days".

Ripclawe, it's a dead fucking horse. It's a shame that amid all this hyped-up controversy (and I'm not saying these documents are necessarily legit), everyone is ignoring issues that actually matter, like Iraq.
The memo's are so ridiculously fake, I actually think whoever made them WANTED to be caught, probably to make CBS look bad or something. I mean, a P.O. Box of 12345?

President Skroob: "1..2..3..4..5...12345? Hey, thats the number on my luggage!"
Seriously though, I think that's supposed to be a valid code in Atlanta or Virginia. I remember something mentioned about it on TV when the text channel was covering a guy who claimed to have memorized the corresponding locations to all 40,000 codes.

The possibility that CBS took forged documents possibly directly from the DNC and refuses to budge on their authenticity makes this story have staying power. Add that to the fact that the DNC refuses to drop this National Guard story and you have at least 2-3 solid more weeks of coverage.
If these are fake then CBS could lose all credibility it ever had. Practically every expert says they are most likely false but CBS's insist it's real. Somethings fishy.
