Truly excellent, excellent idea.
I'll post the email I sent 'Editor' Wood in a moment (have to reformat and take out my name and address)
To: Editor Rood
Subject: Your 'Coming Out' For Kerry
Date: Saturday, August 21, 2004 12:34 PM
Since you have come out in support of Sen. Kerry's version of certain events and have successfully obtained the 1969 'After Action Report' from the US Government regarding the disputed event leading to some of Kerry's Medals, I urge you use the same diligence in obtaining ALL of Senator Kerry's Military Records. As the Tribune had absolutely no problem in going to court to obtain the sealed records of Jack Ryan's divorce, it should do the same regarding Senator Kerry. That's if the Tribune Co is impartial -- which I seriously doubt. Furthermore, as you are an apparent friend of the Senator, and dare I say one of his 'band of brothers', I urge you to use your influence and have him sign off on Standard Form 180 - which as we all know, he has thus far REFUSED TO DO! As that would end any and all doubts as to who's version of all the events in question are true (and those questions are growing daily). Yours and ten other of his 'brothers' -- one of which who it's now been proved that he DIDN'T serve on Kerry's boat or with Kerry at all -- or the 200 other Naval Officers who state Kerry is a liar, a phony and Unfit To Command. So, (My Name) ps: Col. McCormick must be spinning on his grave considering what HIS newspaper has become. pps: There is no need to respond because I know where you stand, and it's on the WRONG side! Dear Sir,
1) Either file suit to have ALL the records released.
2) Have Kerry SIGN form SF 180, or...
3) I suggest you resign from the Tribune - because if you do NOT do either of the first two you are NOT an impartial party and then have no business functioning as an Editor of the Tribune.
