	Roger L. Simon: Why Did Dick Thornburgh Lie?
		It's amazing Thornburgh and Boccardi could assert this with a straight face, considering their own expert--the only one they cite in their own appendix--says the exact opposite, just as every other reputable typography expert does without any of them being contradicted except in the most inept manner.
		Dick Thornburg is a very smart man. I think he is somewhat cut out of the same mold as Tom Kean of New Jersey, (Though Tom was much more effective but we are talking life and death in that case).
		Thornburgh, didn't "lie," he...well I can't say precisely what it was that he did, but I'm sure it he's got seven escape hatches.

Within days, 140,000 people fled the area.

		Thornburgh and Boccardi rightly opine that, if the documents are forged (or if their authenticity cannot be determined, as they would say it) then any content in the documents is utterly irrelevant.
		Thornburgh and Boccardi actually seem somewhat amazed themselves, in their own report, that Dan Rather apparently - TO THIS DAY - still does not comprehend this most basic of points.
		Thornburgh and Boccardi actually seem to be going out of their way to help Rather and Mapes "get it" - i.e., that forged documents cannot be good proof for anything.

		Because Thornburgh had not personally assented to the contract, the case turned on whether Thornburgh’s longtime aide Murray Dickman, in entering into a the contractual relationship with Rove & Co., acted as Thornburgh’s agent and within the scope of his authority.
		Because Dickman is Thornburgh’s agent, Dickman’s assent to the contract constitutes assent by Thornbugh.
