PRESTOPUNDIT

"I'M VIRTUALLY CERTAIN these were computer generated." -- Sandra Ramsey Lines, a fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, on the CBS documents at the center of the Ra^thergate scandal, as quoted by AP Pentagon reporter Matt Kelley. Kelley also has this:

"They looked to me like forgeries," said Rufus Martin. "I don't think Killian would do that, and I knew him for 17 years." Killian died in 1984.

[The AP has split the Kelley story in two. This posting has been revised accordingly.]

Note well how Kelley [in the Bush National Guard part of the story] is still working hard to "get" George Bush with the "gotcha" stuff about trainer flights and multiple-approach landings. The Kelley bias story is one I've been tracking here for a while now, see for example, this and this and this.

UPDATE: Captain Ed is all over Matt Kelley.

UPDATE II: Here's what the NY Post did with the AP copy.

UPDATE III: NRO's Bryon York takes a closer look at the CBS documents.

UPDATE IV: Powerline: "And distinguishing itself for the worst story of the day on the [CBS documents story] is -- who else? -- the AP." Posted by Greg Ransom
