CNN now announces WH to release entire ANG records

[Dees]

for Monkeynuts. Hundreds and hundreds of pages.

[David Dunham]

1. This Should Provide Weeks of Fun for AWOL Fans

[Dees]

2. It'll be a long weekend for some folks. Anchor said CNN would

have the documents in 10 minutes.

[Darwin2002]

3. how do we know that ALL are released?

[alfredo]

4. Friday night, too late for nightly news to do much

research. They are probably hoping it will die before the end of the long weekend.

[w13rd0]

5. wait a sec...

...I thought all these records were lost in the anus of history or something. Were they just hiding them under a bed?

[buycitgo]

6. maybe they were at Rose Law

or the same place where dimwad's old driver's license got lost

[TacticalPeek]

12. Better check Fawn's panties,

to be sure there are no stragglers.

[Ksec]

29. Blacked out

the reports will be censored for securities sake......

[kath]

7. If records come to the press after they have been filtered through the WH

they won't be worth shit.

The ONLY way to have this done appropriately is for W to sign a release, waiving his privacy rights, allowing the Air Force Records Center (or whatever it's officially called) to release his ENTIRE file to requesting parties (including EVERYTHING -- personal info, medical, disciplinary, the whole damn file, just as all other Pres candidates have done) Very simple -- all he has to do is sign one little form.

8. Heard that too. It's "baffle 'em with bullshit" time...

:grr:

[SoCalDem]

9. But...But...But.. Scotty said they had already done that

hmmmm.. junior must have been digging around in the closet and mysteriously "found" something :)

what a laugh..

three Shakespeare lines come to mind..

"...what a tangled web we weave..."
"...much ado about nothing..." nothing being his service
"...methinks he doest protest too much..."

[AZCat]

10. I think the only suitable reply is the one the White House gave...

to Iraq when Saddam released 14,000 pages of info on WMD.

Ignore it, and implement regime change anyway!

[asjr]

13. They may have worked

overtime to fabricate records. They found "guardsmen" really fast who would say they had seen Shrub. Probably the guardsmen can retire wealthy. My cynicism grows with each day. And that is a terrible plight for me because I have always mostly trusted people. The citizens of this country should be able to trust someone who has attained the highest office in the land. Of course that doesn't apply here as he "won" the presidency by a vote of 5-4.

[beanball]

22. On duty with shrub

I remember now there was a very nice 2lt(butter bars) hanging out at the O club at Maxwell AFB while I was a bartender there.Very polite,very nice young man,treated all of the youg ladies with respect and I told my bar back that youn man is going places.It wasn't Viet Nam but a much more dangerous assignment the Oval office.Mr Rove send the check make it payable to former sgt Horace Bootlicker at the home for Republican liers Foggy Bottom,DC.

[bearfartinthewoods]

30. huh? what guardsman?

[TacticalPeek]

14. IIRC, those 14000 pages were also censored by the WH.

Familiar MO.

[AZCat]

16. I know. What was it- 8,000 out of 14,000 were released?

By that ratio, we should expect a hundred pages or so of 'dental records' while Scott McClellan continues to claim that the issue is settled.

I smell a whitewash...

[SaveElmer]

11. Could be Damage Control

There might be something damaging in there and they figure it would be better to deal with it now then have it dribble out later.

[pinto]

15. my guess, too. they've had 5 or so days to read through stuff and make

the call. if it's nothing, they slide, if there's damaging pieces, they've worked their response(s) out.....they already knew the contents anyway, probably waiting to see how close the hounds would run before going for it. look for Karen's "touch".

[TacticalPeek]

18. There it is.

All sandbagged up now, and thinking they're ready for the assault.

[Dees]

17. CNN said the White House said there were blacked out areas

in the records pertaining to family health, etc.

[w13rd0]

19. What...

...like his fathers musing on the purity of the Bush clans precious bodily fluids?

[DemBones DemBones]

25. If it's only SSN's and medical info about family,

that's fine. And we should be able to judge that by looking at it. Especially if there are people familiar with military forms of that era who look over them.
But basically, if there's a blanked out space, it better be a space labeled "Enter Social Security # HERE" or "Has anyone in your family ever had:" (list of diseases to be marked.)

20. Malveaux said there were Medical exams for 68, 70, 71

I'm not going to climb on Maxveaux for not being able to summarize 300 pages in 10 minutes of skimming. That said...

Malveaux said she saw records for medical exams in 1968, 1970, & 1971. Those aren't the years in question.

[MidwestTransplant]

21. Excatly

Why did the take his wings?

[DemBones DemBones]

24. Yes, everyone please WRITE to Lou Dobbs and

tell him this. I just did -- and also complimented him on the great shows he's been doing about "free" trade and illegal immigration.

http://www.cnn.com/lou

There's a form e-mail there; I don't have an e-mail address for Lou, though I've seen it posted before.

I didn't say it, but if Malveaux is covering the White House, she ought to KNOW the dates. Ineptness or deliberate falsification?

[JPace]

27. Thanks for the link....

just sent my thank you's. He is doing
an outstanding job.

[mouse7]

23. Still gaps in Alabama service records

Doesn't look like much has changed regarding the dates in question yet.

[Nashyra]

26. Malveaux said that the the 71 medical records

showed that there were no health issues so it backs up the WH claims that the only reason * did not take a physical because he "decided he wasn't going to fly anymore so it wasn't necessary" Excuse me * gets to decide what he does or doesn't do in the military.

[Dees]

28. What decent , patriotic, duty first pilot wouldn't want to keep

his pilot's status in good order. Many dollars when into training the fraud as well. He owed it to his country. And no, I didn't think the physical was optional either.
