Need URL on CBS Images ("Conclusive Proof") for Wash.Post LTTE

[deckerd]

Folks, I'm looking for a link to those blow-ups someone did
(CBS-nokerning.gif and the other ones in the same thread.)

I assume they're archived in Photobucket.com. I need them
so I can e-mail an LTTE to the Washington Post Ombudsman.

This past Monday or Tuesday, three out of five Post columnists essentially came out against * on the national security issue, something I have never seen the Post do before.

Today, however, the Editorial Board said that Kerry's stance on the war made it "difficult to choose between" Kerry and *.

And the Dean of the Washington Press Corps decared flat-out that the CBS docs were a forgery.

What's worse, on the same day, Michael Getler, the Post's Ombudsman, essentially said the same thing -- that the docs WERE discredited in
form and substance as forgeries -- after pointedly averring that the Swift Boat allegations had been "looked into", NOT discredited!! This is all in today's Wash.Post Sunday Outlook section.

This is after I and others sent an LTTE demanding a correction from the Post, on the basis of the high-res images posted here on DU of the CBS docs which contradict the heart of the story, namely, that the docs are
untrustworthy BECAUSE they are proven to have been done on a computer...

...said "proof" being just as inaccurate as CBS' original verification was. If we can't establish the proper facts, we'll never find out who the source was!

Instead of a correction, Getler PRAISES Howie Kurtz for "smoking out the facts of this case with the help... of online sleuths working in what has become known as the 'blogosphere'"... after simply "looking into" the Swift Boat allegations.

The difference being that the latter allegations have not been conclusively proved false, the way the CBS Docs HAVE been... right? WRONG! While the docs are probably dupes or forgeries, they were assuredly not done on MS Word, and this affects the Post's credibility since that is the thrust of their story. Also, they have betrayed no inclination to find out who did this, or why, or where the docs came from, so their MS Word analysis is highly misleading.

This on the same page David Broder says, in /The Media, Losing Their Way/:
"a scurrilous and LARGELY inaccurate attack on the Vietnam service of John Kerry AND A FORGED DOCUMENT charging President Bush with disobeying an order for a... physical."
...
"Any Texan with a grudge against George W. Bush and the National Guard... should have been treated with the DEEP DISTRUST HE DESERVED by the reporters TO WHOM HE OFFERED HIS WARES."

If the Post believes that there is not some other source for the docs, that this elderly and unfit gentleman forged them, this is potentially slanderous statement by Broder, the "dean" of the press corps.

And the title of Getler's ombudsman puff piece? Wait for it...

"Self-Inflicted Wounds".

Help me write another, more pointed LTTE to the Ombudsman,
Getler, demanding a retraction on the core factual argument
made by Kurtz that the docs must have been created on MS Word.

I've already written the letter; I just need links for the
pictures that were posted here disproving the Post's allegations.

(Specifically, the blow-ups of the "ls" and the "no kerning" bit).

Thanks,

2. That's Wonderful! But I also need the Images that were posted here in DU

Under the thread "Conclusive Proof that CBS Memos were not Done in MS Word". The thread has apparently disappeared or been archived. Can
anyone give me a photobucket URL???

Thanks.
