""I'm going to sit down with them and make sure that they are clear and I am clear as to what is in the record and what isn't in the record and we'll put it out,""
There is the out. He will jsut say he isn't signing because it is not complete.
Actually the "out" is that nobody on Earth gives a rat's rump about John Kerry, so long as he's nowhere near the presidency.
This sounds like he plans to tell the Navy what they can and cannot release once he signs the form. Perhaps whatever Jimah Carter pardoned cannot legally be revealed and Kerry wants to make sure the Navy understands that. Is that possible?
It's the truth: he's had so many revisions, he really doesn't know what's in the official record.
