Questions are being raised about the authenticity of memos involving President Bush's mlitary service- and the credibility of a report done by 60 minutes..
The memos indicate that Bush ignored a direct order from a superior officer in the Texas National Guard.

As a result, Bush lost his status as a pilot because he failed to meet military performance standards and undergo a required physical exam.
CBS News says the network stands by the story saying experts who examined the documents concluded they were authentic.

The documents were written by a Lieutenant in 1972 and 73. However the lieutenant's son says his father would never write such a memo and spoke highly of George Bush.
The White House spokesman has suggested the memos may have surfaced as part of an effort by the Kerry campaign to tear down the president.

A Florida businessman says he can reduce the strength of Hurricane Ivan.
Peter Cordani has been working on his hurricane-fighting plan for years. He's trying to lease a Boeing 747 tanker plane -- and then fly it to the edge of the hurricane, to dump thousands of pounds of the absorbent material his company makes.
Cordani figures he could knock Ivan down a notch or two on the hurricane scale.
A professor at the International Hurricane Center at Florida International University has said ideas like Cordani's aren't realistic -- either because they'd be way too expensive, or because they're based on a lack of understanding of meteorology or science.
