No basis for suit. Privacy Act protects the records. Kerry's consent is required. Same standard that should be applied (but wasn't) to Limbaugh's medical records.
Then a NEW precendent has been established and can be used in retrieving Kerrie's military, medical records, and his diary, which a local talkshow hosts claims he wrote that he spoke to "terrorists" in France in 1971.
Is someone guilty of treason and/or dishonorably discharged from the armed forces allowed to serve in the Senate?
I think the Swiftees would have to sue the Kerry campaign,or Nightline for slander and supeana the military records as part of the suit. Other than that, you can't get the records.
