Lincoln Document Altered by Researcher at National Archives

[Shangas]

The ridiculous thing is that the forgery is SO obvious. I don't know why nobody picked it up before...

What a shame, worse yet that this fraud of a man cannot be punished. I can hardly think of anything more valuable than truthful, well documented history- for someone to attempt to destroy that for personal notoriety steals something from everyone.

Thomas Lowry, you are a disgrace of a human being. If I were on your jury, I'd have pushed for the absolute maximum available sentence.

I wonder what Tom's political affiliation is.

Why bother making Lincoln look better? To some people government is a religion and Lincoln is their Jesus Christ.

Why should Pearl Harbor information still be kept secret? Why is JFK assassination information still kept secret AFTER an act of congress to release it? Why are USS Liberty voice recordings still kept secret? Why did George W. Bush reclassify as secret material that had been in the public domain? Maybe history is more important than boring high school teachers make it seem!

I've been concerned about official and historical documents being purposefully manipulated for decades now, not for profit but for political reasons,

One strategically inserted "comma" can change the entire meaning of a law or regulation,

I've seen copies of the 2nd Amendment with two, three and four commas, each one with a different meaning, how secure are the original documents?
