What is THIS about?

[NEPA]

Politics aside, as a former military person, I am totally against personal military records being released without the written consent of the individual involved.

If the AP wants to look up some juicy incriminating dirt they should sue to open the Clinton files that were sealed for 50 years back in '98. I'm sure they're a lot more interesting (and truthful) than Bill's book.

Here we go AGAIN?

Hey, AP, why don't you pay attention to John Kerry's record and what the Swift Vets are saying about him these days.

Hm?

The AP can go pound sand.

From the AP website:

14. How do I contact a reporter or editor?

Send an email to info@ ap.org and it will be forwarded to the reporter or editor.

"....it is unclear from the record what duties he performed...."

Unh, I think he was flying an F-104, you know, a jet plane. His duties consisted of taking the necessary training and staying proficient. In the event of a national emergency, he may have been called upon to serve in the capacity of a fighter-interceptor pilot, in pursuit of intercontinental bombers coming from the Soviet Union.

A threat, incidentally, which never materialized. Because, at the time, we were ready to respond to it.

Could be they're looking for an issue for next Monday. This'll be the Sun Morn Talk show launch of the latest attack....a reprise of an old attack.

They also seem to bring the Pres.'s Guard record up when something negative hits the air about Kerry's military service.

Maybe something negative toward Kerry is scheduled to hit.

They are suing to get access to something that was already released? Good grief.

[Mike Darancette]

The Associated Press sued the Pentagon and the Air Force on Tuesday, seeking access to all records of George W. Bush's military service during the Vietnam War.

I'm sure that the AP is going after Kerry's records (including FBI) as I write this.

[Recovering_Democrat]

This is undoubtedly the cutting issue of election 2004. ;-)

[ServesURight]

This is pure desperation by the AP. I guess the Saddam-Al Qaida link story is backfiring.

[Mo1]

Gee .. any chance the AP will sue for Kerry's records?

Guess I shouldn't hold my breath huh?

[abner]

Have you seen this?

The Swift Boat guys should do a press release about how the AP is willing to sue to get Bush records, but that they think Kerry's record doesn't advance a story.....

[kcvl]

No bias in the media. /sarcasm

I wonder where they were during the Clinton years?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Another last second try. The left is becoming increasingly desparate since they lost access to taxpayer dollars to fund their "eccentric" life styles.

If they don't get control of the government back soon, they might have to go out and get jobs.
