You don't think the Boston Globe would sanitize the file before they make it public? Gimme a break.

I don't know Form 180 from Shinola but I would be that there is a place on it that names who the file is to be given to. Eventually it will come out that no one else can get a copy of the file except the one designated on that form.

That's the way it is. Bush signed one allowing general release. Kerry probably signed one only allowing the Boston Globe, or a favored writer thereof, access. Assuming the documents released recently are a result of that signing, or even it they are not. Kerry might have signed a SF-180 that merely requested copies of the records for his own use. He could then release records at his leisure, or not at all.
