Republican "Truth-Assasins" are hard at work trying to discredit the recently-discovered documents about Bush's National Guard tenure. C.B.S. News, which originally uncovered them, is standing-by their authenticity. Critics have claimed that #1... the "type-style" is not from the era.; however, that particular "type-style" (font) has been used since 1934. They also claim that the "th" found in the reference of "111th" is typed in "super-script", and claim that such "super-script" was not available on typewriters of the era. C.B.S. news produced similar documents, from the National Guard, dated 1968; which were typed on a typewritwer,a nd contained "super-script". C.B.S. also stated that such typewriters, though not common, WERE available at the time. C.B.S. also elisted the help of handwriting experts, who have found the signatures to be authentic. They also interviewed a staff-member, who knew the author/officer; He stated that he found NOTHING in them that would indicate forgery, and that they were consistent with documents & procedures from the National Guard at that time, and that they "sounded" authentic. Therefore, C.B.S. is "standing-by" it's story; unless other information surfaces. Dave
