WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon released 10 pages of records from President Bush's Vietnam-era service in the Texas Air National Guard late Friday, but the files shed no new light on his military career.
The records include several that have been released before and others that are administrative files or cover letters to other documents that have been previously released.
The Defense Department released the records in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by The Associated Press. Friday was the court-ordered deadline for the Pentagon to turn over all records it could find on Bush's Texas Air National Guard service.
The release marked the second Friday night in a row that the Defense Department has released more of the president's National Guard files. The White House has repeatedly announced this year that all of Bush's records have been released, only to have the Pentagon come up with more files in response to the AP's lawsuit and FOIA requests.
