Occam:

Never underestimate the stupidy of a desperate man. First of all, the assumption that it must have been a 20 something because an older forger would have known to use a typewriter is false. How many 40+ year olds, who are not professional forgers would know all the technical differences between typewriter and word processing software. I am fairly computer literate, with a lot of experience programming in FORTRAN, PASCAL and C, and I didn’t know all the details of typefaces. I bet only a few people on this discussion group new beforehand either.

Second, disinformation does not have to rely on foolproof forgeries to be effective. The only thing that is required is sufficient time before refutation for the information to become part of current wisdom. As an experiment, try refuting the Joe Wilson yellowcake story with someone who relies on the MSM for news. You wonít get very far. CBS and DNC assumed that they could dominate the news cycle long enough for the memos to become “self-authenticating. They did not count on the independent media taking away their control of the story.

Bottom line: The MSM/DNC made some assumptions about the way information is controlled and transmitted to the public. They were wrong.
