America - Kerry Still Covering Up

Kerry claims to have released all his military records. But as THOMAS H. LIPSCOMB points out it depends on how you fill out Form 180.

This last part is telling.

Now that the Boston Globe has in its possession what it claims are Kerry's "full military and medical records," is the Globe ready to make these records available to the public? Wilkinson replied, "It is my understanding that Kerry will release these papers to anyone else now that he has signed the Form 180. The Boston Globe is not going to make available the papers we have received."

Can anyone get a copy of Kerry's Form 180 under a Freedom of Information Act request?

UPDATE

My suspcions were right. Kerry did not authorize release of his full military records to everyone.

The new release was prompted by a privacy waiver form, known as an SF-180, that Mr. Kerry signed on May 20, according a spokesman for the senator, David Wade.

A Navy spokesman, Lieutenant Commander Daniel Hernandez, said the waiver applied only to the Boston Globe and did not authorize release of Mr. Kerry's records to the public.

"Kerry controls the release of his records," Commander Hernandez said yesterday. "You have to talk to his office."

The senator also agreed to allow the Los Angeles Times to see his full record, Mr. Wade said yesterday. The spokesman did not respond to a question about why Mr. Kerry did not execute a broader release to all press organizations and the public. Asked whether the senator would permit release of the records to The New York Sun, Mr. Wade said, "The issue is over."

You wish it were over Mr. Wade.

Once again Kerry is caught lying. And notice how he only released his records to two newspapers who support him.

Mr. Nuance is hoping the public are unaware of the nuances of Form 180. By claiming he has finally released his full military records, Kerry now hopes to play the victim card. He also hopes to wear everyone down over the issue. But, as his want, Mr. Nuance is wrong again.

So, the new question becomes, "Senator, when will you release your full military records to the American public?"
