Personally I have no doubt at all that the intelligence document was doctored for political reasons, but this is not proof of anything, one way or the other.


Word saves all manner of additional stuff including quite possibly the edits made - I've seen this before so it wouldn't surprise me.

I once was sent a file, it was only meant to be 2 chapters of a thesis and was saved as such but word had actually included the entire thesis in the .doc file.  You won't see this in Word itself, you have to look at the .doc with another program.

I then took one of the said chapters and went to convert it into HTML.  I didn't have any other editor handy so I tried using VC++.  Bad move, a bug in the text colouring routine caused the entire GUI to lock up, this was on NT4.0 (IIRC SP5).

And people wonder why I don't like Windows...
