Has Kerry released all his military records?
Local LTTE -- the second one in a week mentioning this issue:

"I find it interesting that CBS and other organizations have been clamoring loudly for George Bush's service records, going so far as to file Freedom of Information Act requests to have them released.

"On the other hand, John Kerry has refused to allow his service records to be released. Am I the only one that is curious as to why he is reluctant to expose his service records to public scrutiny? Personally, I think Mr. Kerry is something of a fraud. C'mon John, give us a peek as to what a hero you are."
======================

Kerry's Official Naval Records from his website:
http://www.johnkerry.com/about/john_kerry/military_records.html

Looks complete to me. What could this moran be talking about? I'd like to respond to his letter.

1. He hasn't

and I believe that is the October strategy of KKKarl. He is going to point out that Kerry simply needs to sign a single Navy document which would release all of his records.

He has not released all of his after action reports, and any of his medical reports. There will be a leak...

Kerry needs to sign the form and release all of the documents. His holding these back is only going to hurt us. As my grandaddy says, the appearance of hiding something is worse than what you are hiding.

2. Yes, he has. His private medical records were all that was kept back
and even those were allowed to be viewed by members of the press covering the story.

It is a LIE being pushed in the right wing media that claims Kerry has not released all his records. They pretend not to notice the difference between all his military records and all his medical records.

3. There are personal records
Someone here can give you the name or number designation that neither W or Kerry have released. It is the equivalent of a war diary and they are under no obligation to release it. Talk about short books... "My national guard duty" by george bush

4. Jesus H. Christ!

The Bush gang has hidden everything they can, from the beginning. It is the most secretive administration in history. Every reporter knows it. Every observant citizen knows it. Who was at the energy task force meetings with Cheney? What was the real title of the August, 2001 report? Who outed Valerie Plame? What was the reason Bush didn't take that physical? And on, and on, and on.

And you and your grandfather want to go after Kerry for something the Republicans might call an "appearance" of hiding?

You may find a more receptive audience elsewhere.

6. I was answering a question asked
My grandfather is a very well respected former Congressional adviser, and he looks to what may hurt us in the future. This is our problem, plain and simple: we are too damn arrogant to look to what can hurt us in the future. And then when something comes along that whoops us, we don't understand it.

If you are inferring that I should post elsewhere instead of wasting your valuable short sighted time, then simply put me on your ignore list.
