I'm still afraid of how it would go over if the Bush adminstration pushed for the release of Kerry's records. I wish a veteran's group of some sort would push for it instead of anyone in the adminstration.

I did not mean that the White House directly would ask to look at Kerry's records but that when some groups do, all the fuss about Bush's records (which apparently the White House could have quashed earlier by having numerous people say that they remember Bush at those meetings in Alabama)will be in the public's mind so that it is regarded as fair game. I think that the Bush team's "fumbling" of this issue may have been strategery. It may not, but it may have been.
