The documents (so far) are all public. It is the interpretation that is risky. But as the Sun points out, Kerry needs to explain why he required a presedential order and special board to get his discharge.

I'm sure it was just to correct a clerical error.

Another bureaucratic (sp?) snafu? ;) (Liberal speak for you caught us breaking the law) but people buy it! Remember Filegate? People actually bought it! Killing Kathleen Willey's cat? Just another bureaucratic snafu!

- Your suggested approach to take with this matter would bring it to the attention of the public but avoid the danger (as some here have expressed concern about) that, if framed as an allegation, it could turn out to be an unsubstantiated smear.
If the facts in this article are true on the face of it, it would certainly raise a lot of suspicions that should be pursued - but carefully.
