They're meeeeeeeeelllllllllllting...meeelllllttttinnngggg
I have been watching closely this evening the story on the Bush National Guard records and whether or not they're legitimate. It's been pretty darned entertaining, I must say.
Free Republic is in full and total meltdown. They're posting like crazy over there about the fact that the fonts dont' match up and the spacing is wrong and these documents just couldn't be legitimate. ABC News and the Washington Post are backing that part up. So it's possible there could be some funny business.
On the flip side, ABC News has reported that Killian's son has said that at least one of the memos appears to him to be legitimate (he only commented on two of them, he says the "sugarcoat" memo doesn't seem like something his dad would do). Mrs. Killian is apparently aghast, saying that her husband never kept papers and didn't type. To me her response seems a bit silly and shallow however, given that an official memo probably wouldn't have been handwritten and probably would have been typed by a clerk.
Of further interest, is the Washington Post reporting that CBS verified the content of the memos with Killian's former immediate superior,Maj. Gen. Bobby W. Hodges. CBS contends that Hodges told them that, "these are the things that Killian had expressed to me at the time."
The best place for current updates appears to be Josh Marshall, for the moment.
