Interesting timing.
Not really. State polls showing Bush improving so this is the next assault on him from the slanted news media. This kind of thing will be happening continuously until November 2nd.
This is a prime example of a supposedly objective media organization trying to bring down a president by hiding behind the slogan "the readers have a right to know". They might as well pledge their allegiance to the Democratic Party because they have just blown their image of objectivity (just like Zogby polling).
Not that they will find anything in their digging. Bush didn't receive an honorable discharge for nothing.
