'Rathergate' expert on birth certificate': 'Highly suspicious'

'Rathergate' expert on birth certificate': 'Highly suspicious': "The typography expert who played a key role in ending the career of CBS News anchor Dan Rather has told WND he has strong suspicions the Obama birth certificate released by the White House is fraudulent.

Joseph M. Newcomer, who exposed the 'Killian documents' as fraudulent in 2004, has told WND the Obama birth certificate released by the White House April 27 is a 'highly suspicious' document that deserves professional forensic examination.

'There is something deeply wrong here,' Newcomer told WND. 'There are artifacts in the birth certificate document that are strongly suggestive of a forgery. The document screams out that something is wrong.'

Newcomer's 7,000-word analysis of the Killian documents in the Rather case demonstrated that the purported memos regarding George W. Bush's experience in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War were produced on a modern computer word processor, not a 1970s-era manual typewriter.

Newcomer stressed that he was relying on published charges that the Obama birth certificate was fraudulent, including the analysis by scanner expert Doug Vogt and by typography expert Paul Irey.
