"The lack of any substantive new material about Kerry's military career in the documents raises the question of why Kerry refused for so long to waive privacy restrictions."

This is akin to Saddam shipping off his WMD's to Syria, et el, prior to the war. Yet so many still wonder "if Saddam had no WMD's why didn't he prove it so that he could maintain his status/lifestyle in the Middle East?" It's because he did have them (WMD's).

Likewise, if John Kerry had nothing to hide, why has he refused for so long to waive privacy restrictions. It's because the documentation had to be altered/changed/moved first.

Saddam couldn't move fast enough to beat the UN deadline to move the WMD's to another country -- therefore, eventually war started -- and Kerry couldn't beat the Presidential election deadline to have his 180 cleansed.

Maybe a poor analogy, I don't know.

Maybe a poor analogy, I don't know.

I think it's a very good analogy. Hey, if you've got nothing to hide, you don't hide anything. That is particularly true when your missing records are causing political fallout for you. No kid ever hid his report card from his parents if the report card showed straight A's.
