The Form 180 so many people are talking about only authorizes the release of the individual's own file. It has nothing to do with a general release of military records. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) deals with the release of information maintained by the government which is not protected by the Privacy Act. This judge is ruling on a FOIA request.

I know. The point is that a FOIA request, coupled with Bush signing off on a 180, means that everything should be produced.
