"What Is Truth?"

As Pontius Pilate asks his wife before sentencing Jesus to cricifixion in Mel Gibson's "The Passion", how do you know the truth when you see it?

Seems like maybe those Bush AWOL memos are authentic after all. Analysts are suggesting that the "IBM Selectric Composer" - an electric typwriter available in 1972 - was capable of the font definitions found in the Killian memos (see below for the story).

As Wired News reports, modern technology is a double-edged sword when it comes to fraud. Not only does it make it easier for rogues to produce high-quality forged documents, but it also makes it harder to prove the authenticity of real documents.

Looks like this could be a faith-based election in more ways than one.
