There shouldn't be any "official" records scattered anywhere.
This could potentially be a good thing. It will end all the rumors once and for all.
Full AP story now posted on Drudge.
Why has there been no pressure for the Traitor to release his records. This is UNREAL!!
This does however emphasis that kerry has not signe form 180!
Judge Orders U.S. to Find Bush Records
9 minutes ago
By MATT KELLEY, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - A federal judge has ordered the Pentagon (news - web sites) to find and make public by next week any unreleased files about President Bush (news - web sites)'s Vietnam-era Air National Guard service to resolve a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by The Associated Press.
U.S. District Judge Harold Baer Jr. handed down the order late Wednesday in New York. The AP lawsuit already has led to the disclosure of previously unreleased flight logs from Bush's days piloting F-102A fighters and other jets.
Pentagon officials told Baer they plan to have their search complete by Monday. Baer ordered the Pentagon to hand over the records to the AP by Sept. 24 and provide a written statement by Sept. 29 detailing the search for more records.
"We're hopeful the Department of Defense (news - web sites) will provide a full accounting of the steps it has taken, as the judge ordered, so the public can have some assurance that there are no documents being withheld," said AP lawyer David Schulz.
White House officials have said Bush ordered the Pentagon earlier this year to conduct a thorough search for the president's records, and officials allowed reporters to review everything that was gathered back in February.
Through a series of requests under the federal open records law and a subsequent suit, the AP uncovered the flight logs, which were not part of the records the White House released earlier this year.
Both Bush's and John Kerry (news - web sites)'s service records in Vietnam have become a major issue in the presidential race. New records that have surfaced in recent weeks have raised more questions.

Wonder if someone from our side will put in an FOIA on Kerry?
I can only assume he is going to for the release of Kerry's sealed documents from his divorce.
right??
hmm I won't hold my breath
Who brought the action that the judge ruled on?
He sure didn't do this in a vacuum waking up this morning and saying, "Golly. I think I'll rule on this."
Why? Who does this judge think he is? And why is he ordering this? Why? Why not Kerry's records?
A leftist modern day Roland Frieseler strikes again.
Liberals judges -- They can order anything they want, including a ham sandwich.
Thanks.
where do you see that. I do not see that on Drudge?
Will this SAME judge order the release of ALL Kerry records? Are Republicans pursuing THIS? If not, WHY not?
The Pentagon is going to laugh at this.....even if Bush did not sign the 180, there is no way personal military files will be released....just ask Kerry
It's not about "fear", unless you mean the fear of losing all right to privacy. Bush has already released his records by signing form 180...Kerry hasn't done so. Wanna take bets as to why?
Looks like Kerry will have to sign 180 release after this.
A judge ordering the government? Let's see...the 9th circuit? What a load of fecal matter.
No big deal. They have released everything.
The big deal is that Drudge posted the link to the artcle about Navy saying Kerry hasn't released all his records.
