Some Experts Say '60 Minutes' Docs May Be Forged

HeadlineSep 10, 2004

The Washington Post is reporting that some experts are questioning whether the documents unearthed by * 60 Minutes* regarding President Bush’s military history might be * forgeries*. Questions were raised if the font used in the documents and the formatting could have been done by a Vietnam War-era typewriter. CBS stands by the documents and says they were vetted by independent experts and verified by individuals who saw them at the time they were written. The White House has not officially raised questions about the authenticity of the documents. On Wednesday night the press office emailed reporters copies of the documents that were supplied by CBS.
