What if Dan Rather or someone else forges a Form 180 with Kerry's signature seeking release of his records and sends it into the Defense Department. Kerry's records get released in full and distributed to the media. The forged signature gets discovered on November 3rd (oops!) and the Defense Dept. apologizes to Kerry for not reviewing the release form carefully enough. Hey, everybody makes a mistake once and a while.
Hillary has been working on that signature for weeks now.
