Forgeries -- a pattern suggesting a common source?

[JDPriestly]

Maybe I just wasn't paying attention, but somehow I don't recall hearing about so many forgeries before the Bush administration. Let's see, there were the yellow cake documents (proved forgeries), the Rather documents (suspected forgeries), and now, the latest, the Galloway documents -- also proved forgeries. Is someone running a forgery factory? Surely not, but this getting stranger and stranger.


"In the same week as the Daily Telegraph published their documents against me, the Christian Science Monitor published theirs which turned out to be forgeries and the British newspaper, Mail on Sunday, purchased a third set of documents which also upon forensic examination turned out to be forgeries. So there's nothing fanciful about this. Nothing at all fanciful about it.

"The existence of forged documents implicating me in commercial activities with the Iraqi regime is a proven fact. It's a proven fact that these forged documents existed and were being circulated amongst right-wing newspapers in Baghdad and around the world in the immediate aftermath of the fall of the Iraqi regime.

Just coincidence? Improved technology for identifying forgeries? Or a single, evil hand?

2. It's called Modus Operandi

When a criminal finds something that works, they do it over and over again.

What gets me is... this is all about undermining people's ability to KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED in any given situation. It makes us feel like we CAN'T know the truth, ever. So we gotta rely on faith...

4. There it is

And that will have ramifacations far beyond this little administration. We may find ourselves nearing a point when we can't even have a meaningful conversation with people who do not share our political beliefs, because our frames of reference will be so different.

6. You have to remember that some of the Newsday sources could

be from freed prisoners from Guantanamo.

Ah - just a big ole pile of snakes *******! So many nefarious types in the geopolitics today that we do not know.

9. It's Rove's brainchild

If we inundate the world with forged documents, then no one will ever take a leaked document seriously. They are succeeding.
