Fake? torture blog docs

Blairwatch supposedly has copies of documents showing US and UK authorization of torture. Blairwatch is a blog.

Loaded Mouth Another blog, links to Blairwatch and calls upon all bloggers to copy these "documents" and post them in case Big Brother shuts them down.

The story is carried (originally I would assume?) on another blog called Raw Story.

(It's a slow day today, what can I tell ya...)


So what do all of these sites have in common:
a.) They are all blogs
b.) They are all liberal blogs
c.) They are all carrying these same documents

So let's talk about the documents, and just to be fair, I'll even provide the links to them, since they were most likely created with a few spare minutes during the Christmas holiday on a 12 year olds PC using Adobe Acrobat Pro. These are .pdf documents, not scans, not originals, nothing to prove these documents have either come from, been created by, or had anything to do with the Ukraine, the U.K. or anyone else. I myself, could have created these documents and shipped them off to all sorts of people passing them off as "proof that torture was indeed authorized and the UK and US knew about it" to once again give creedance to the clarion call of "BUSH LIED!" or maybe "TONY KNEW!"

Telegrams
Fax

Even the liberal MSM will not pick this story up (and this has been circulating around the blogsphere for almost 3 days now) and won't touch it with a 10 foot poll without cooberating evidence. Why? Because there's too high of a probablity that this is fake, and was made up for political gain by persons unknown.

I dismiss this until there's some copies with fingerprints, a signature, a linkage back into the government or a copy that was pulled from Condi or Tony's email where she comments on it (for example) before I'll even consider this anything other than misinformation of the "creative" kind. You may ask how could the fax be fake? It certainly looks real enough with the little scribbles on it and such.

Ten short steps to fake a fax
1. Type up a letter on a PC
2. Make sure to use REAL names (back date the document as necessary)
3. Make sure to follow proper formatting for your letter
4. Use the correct titles, phone numbers and addresses
5. Print it using standard fonts
6. Make a few scribbles, a note or number in the margin for authenticity
7. Copy the print out (copy of a copy of a copy) at least 7 times for an "older" look, only a few times for a newer fax look
8. Go to the fax machine (not electronic fax or bed scanner) and set the date of the fax machine as necessary (i.e. Feb 12, 2003)
9. Change the sending fax machines "Name" or "Organization" to whatever is needed as it will usually print this at the top of the fax.
10. Do the same to the recieving fax machines name and date

Note: If you can find an old thermal paper fax machine - this will add even more authenticity to the look!


Raw Story, Loaded Mouth, BlairWatch) at least should provide something OTHER than blog sites to support the documents. If this were from the Conservatives it would be trounced out on it's ear for pure political nonsense the moment the binary code hit the webpage. While Blairwatch claims the media have picked up on it - the "media" is Britains "Independent", which has the same agenda and overt liberal slant as the three blogs I've mentioned.
