I was referring to certain individuals and advocasy groups who are striving to open the Kerry Standard Form 180 medical records; such as John O'Neil - SBVFT - Bob Novak - John Wambough, Ret. AF Col. - the Heritage Foundation, etc .

When democRATs attack, it's called campaigning.
When Republicans campaign, it's called attacking.
