I add that after checking that document, I emailed WaPo pointing it all out. Nothing happened, no reply, no follow-up article, no taking-down or editing of the original article. And I guess they didn't just ignore me, because looking around the blogs just after, I found others did this simple work jorunalists themselves would be supposed to do, with similar results (and others did more, finding out the typewriter model aviable then that had these characteristics).

Don't be so hard on Dan Rather.  This is the man who made his name by running around Vietnam, telling the American people, "Uh, guys, we're losing this war," at a time when everyone refused to say so, both in the press and in government.  He was also the reporter who took a hammer to Richard Nixon and didn't stop until Nixon was gone.  Rather is no Bushie.
