It isn't paranoia, they really are out to get you

He had obviously been to the wrong countries.

I'd hate to think what would have happened if he had a book in arabic in his baggage.

But anyway, it's for National Security, innit. If it's for National Security, you should feel proud when the officer starts smearing the vasoline on his rubber glove. Body Cavity Searches mean the country is safe.

The Media.

Wow. Apparantly American CBS really does think everyone is an idiot.

This story goes beyond any accusations as to whether Bush dodged his duty or not. In fact, that is utterly irrelevant. What this story is about is that CBS 60 minutes thinks that no will pick up that there is superscript and kerning in a memo written over thirty years ago. For the love of the gods, why not include a footer saying "c:\My Documents\Bush\memo.doc"? It would be about as obvious.

Read all the links, really. There are different, yet overlapping and mutually supportive analyses on each of them. I like the one where someone went to his PC, and typed out an identical copy of the memo using a vanilla setup of MS Word, changing not a single setting. Even superimposed, they are jot and tittle identical.
