I have my suspicions on how this came to be myself. Someone here a couple of days ago was "focused" on Thurlow's Bronze Star. He was like a dog with a bone. My radar went up .
Said it was coming from leftist sites and no one could answer his question about what Thurlow's citation said. He was posting on many of the bloggers sites that were following this story, as well and always asking about Thurlow.
He went on and on that this would be the breaker and that we needed to know what Thurlow's citation said.
I think we, collectively, need to keep our eye on the ball, and not let the liberals sidetrack the focus.
The point is that if Kerry released ALL his military records, those would be the best to disprove the allegations of the SwiftVets. Why isn't the media demanding THAT?
Any sensible person can figure out, that the accusations against Kerry, bad as they are, must be less damaging, than if the truth would come out in form of actual proof, from Kerry's records.
So the truth must be much worse than what the SwiftVets are saying.
Otherwise, Kerry would have released his records long ago, and showing them to everyone.
The issue is NOT Thurlow, the issue is KERRY.
Even if you throw out one accusation, that doesn't invalidate the dozens of others.

Will the WAPO release a copy of the FOIA? My bet is there was none, the docs came straight from Kerry.
