(Beyond the glib comment, there's an honest question in there somewhere. I thought the latest stuff came from DoD in response to a FOIA request. Is that wrong?)

The stuff on which 60 Minutes and the Globe based all of this new "he disobeyed an order" theme came from someone who looked in a dead guy's private files. Was supposedly written in 1973, and said things like "I'm tired of covering for Bush", or something to that effect. But, seems the font, spacing, and special characters weren't available on typewriters back then, and, if you take a computer with Word, set to the default settings on New Roman Times (developed in the '90's, I think) and type out the memo yourself, you can lay it on top of CBS's copy and it's a perfect match.
It's actually hilarious.
