Does anyone think Bush will do the same?


You mean see what little he can release and not get called for it?

I think Bush and anything closed to a stellar miltary record... but
Bush released more military records that Kerry did... and Bush did it
over two months ago.

KERRY REFUSES TO RELEASE MORE RECORDS

.... Kerry, in an interview Sunday on NBC's "Meet The Press," was asked
whether he would follow President Bush's example and release all of
his military records. "I have," Kerry said. "I've shown them they're
available for you to come and look at." He added that "people can come

all requests must go through the press spokesman, Michael Meehan. Late
yesterday, Meehan said the only records available would be those
already released to this newspaper...

.... Bush earlier this year released 300 pages of documents after media
outlets raised new questions about the extent of his National Guard
service. Those records, which Bush promised during a Feb. 8 appearance
on "Meet the Press" to make available, included many military
evaluations and medical records....
