File sanitation takes time.

[rawcatslyentist]

yes JoKe signed the 180.
I also signed a check for one hundred billion dollars for the Hitlery 08 campaign.

(Neither one of us actually will ever turn it in though.)

If his discharge papers from 1972 aren't in there, then this is NOT a complete release of his records.

[Young Werther]

Yeah, especially when you have to cut them into 4" squares for sanitation use.

[bill1952]

Okay, Michelle was mentioned.

What about the rule?

[traderrob6]

Can we all say selective release. more here

[bill1952]

BTW, who would think nothing of a document release only to the Globe?

[boxerblues]

He signed the 180 on May 20th and already has his records? from the NARA website

Order Processing Time

Response times for records requested from the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) vary greatly depending on the nature of the request. For example, the NPRC Military Records Facility currently has a backlog of 180,000 requests and receives approximately 5,000 requests per day. Routine requests for separation documents currently require only 2-4 weeks for servicing. However, requests that involve reconstruction efforts due to the 1973 fire or older records which require extensive search efforts may take much longer. The average turnaround time on all requests is currently running at approximately 12 weeks

can you imagine if W released his papers only to Fox News?

[johnny7]

Kranish just gave it a pass... that is... if he's even seen all the information. He's a tenured, Kerry rumpswab. If Kerry DID sign the form, all the information will become available.

[Reagan is King]

Asked why he delayed signing the form for so long, Kerry said in a written response: ''The call for me to sign a 180 form came from the same partisan operatives who were lying about my record on a daily basis on the Web and in the right-wing media. Even though the media was discrediting them, they continued to lie. I felt strongly that we shouldn't kowtow to them and their attempts to drag their lies out."

I call total BS on that. I don't think there's any way he wouldn't have released this during the campaign if he knew it didn't have any bad news in it. This creep would have done whatever it took to win. I'll bet all the papers aren't in there and he knows it.

The questions are:

1. What's missing?
2. Where did it go?
3. Who took it?

Anyone seen Sandy Berger lurking around the National Personnel Records Center?

[bill1952]

Better yet, only to Rush?

[Reagan is King]

lol, probably last seen wearing a big trenchcoat with lots of pockets and oversized socks.

Kerry and Bush both went on to be accepted to highly competitive graduate programs with "C" averages. How many more worthy kids were rejected because the spoiled rich kids got in? Legacy admissions are worse than affirmative action because it is affirmative action for people who don't need the degrees anyway.

Photoshop Bait @ #13

[Holicheese]

"During last year's presidential campaign, John F. Kerry was the candidate often portrayed as intellectual and complex, while George W. Bush was the populist who mangled his sentences.

But newly released records show that Bush and Kerry had a virtually identical grade average at Yale University four decades ago."

Why not say that Kerry had LOWER grades than Bush?

[tobyhill]

This issue requires a deeper look at not only Kerry but Kranish himself. Last year Kranish and the Boston Globe explained that Kranish assisted with writing Kerry's autobiography but it was on his own and in no relations with the BG. Now the CYA begins. Kranish knows that there is further information that would bring question to his "autobiography" and discredit the BG further if found out. Kranish begins to sugar-coat the records with some crap about "why did it take so long" with nothing new because Kerry is about to bring up some "impeachable" memo to the Congressional floor for consideration. Once he does this all yells will be for Kerry's SF-180 but he now says the BG has them and has already reported on it, partially satisfying some critics and for the BG, Kranish and Kerry's sake enough to weasel the issue any farther even though there are more documents that ruin them all.
