The Post filed an independent request for the documents with the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, which is the central repository for veterans' records. The documents were faxed to The Post by officials at the records center yesterday.
Some enterprising blogger might follow the Compost example and file for other relevant docs via FOIA: The Post filed an independent request for the documents with the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, which is the central repository for veterans' records. The documents were faxed to The Post by officials at the records center yesterday.
I think the POST was able to convince them this is of urgent public interest so that the request could be expedited under a urgent processing rule they have.
