Memos National Guard Memos Forged?
There are questions being raised over the authencity of the memos that state that President Bush lost his pilot status for performance standards.
Independent document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines said the memos looked like they had been produced on a computer using Microsoft Word software. Lines, a document expert and fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, pointed to a superscript — a smaller, raised "th" in "111th Fighter Interceptor Squadron" — as evidence indicating forgery.
...
"I'm virtually certain these were computer generated," Lines said after reviewing copies of the documents at her office in Paradise Valley, Ariz. She produced a nearly identical document using her computer's Microsoft Word software.

I've seen images of the document in question and there is no doubt in my mind that there is a superscript. The argument for a forgery is intriguing and reasonable. We will see where this goes, interestingly, the White House has been very quiet. Have they learned something from the Kerry campaign and decided to not even discuss the issue, lest they draw attentiont to it?
UPDATE: Allah has a run down of the forgery issues (including a matching Microsoft Word recreation) and the media reaction, including some conspiracy theories. By the way, does anybody really care?
