Kerry refuses to release more records
By Michael Kranish, Globe Staff | April 20, 2004

WASHINGTON -- The day after John F. Kerry said he would make all of
his military records available for inspection at his campaign
headquarters, a spokesman said the senator would not release any new
documents, leaving undisclosed many of Kerry's evaluations by his Navy
commanding officers, some medical records, and possibly other
material.

Kerry, in an interview Sunday on NBC's "Meet The Press," was asked
whether he would follow President Bush's example and release all of
his military records. "I have," Kerry said. "I've shown them --
they're available for you to come and look at." He added that "people
can come and see them at headquarters."

But when a reporter showed up yesterday morning to review the
documents, the campaign staff declined, saying all requests must go
through the press spokesman, Michael Meehan. Late yesterday, Meehan
said the only records available would be those already released to
this newspaper.

"He is releasing all military records he has released to The Boston
Globe," Meehan said in a telephone interview. In a follow-up e-mail,
Meehan said it was those particular records to which Kerry was
referring on "Meet the Press."

Kerry has not released the formal evaluations from superior officers,
although his campaign has given a letter from a commanding officer
that recommended him for service aboard Navy patrol boats and also
reports for the Silver and Bronze stars that laud Kerry's actions in
combat. By comparison, retired Army General Wesley K. Clark released
hundreds of pages of his records during the Democratic primary
campaign, including all evaluations of him by his superiors.

Bush earlier this year released 300 pages of documents after media
outlets raised new questions about the extent of his National Guard
service. Those records, which Bush promised during a Feb. 8 appearance
on "Meet the Press" to make available, included many military
evaluations and medical records.

White House communications director Dan Bartlett, in a telephone
interview, contrasted Bush's action with that of Kerry's. "The
president made a pledge before the American people, and he made his
complete file available to the media and the public," Bartlett said.
"They were able to review all of his medical records, and we fully
released the remainder of his military files, including evaluations
and performance sheets as well as days served. The president lived up
to his commitment he made to the public, and we should expect the same
from his opponent."

The question about Kerry's military records came up when Tim Russert,
the moderator of "Meet The Press," asked the Massachusetts senator
about a story in the Globe last week that quoted Kerry's former
commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Grant Hibbard, as saying that
he raised questions about Kerry's first Purple Heart. Hibbard said
that he had heard from others in the office that there were questions
about whether Kerry and his crew took enemy fire, and Hibbard observed
that Kerry's wound was minor, resembling a fingernail scrape. Purple
Heart regulations say nothing about the severity of the wound. The
campaign earlier this year showed the Globe a record verifying that
Kerry was treated for the wound and that shrapnel was removed. That
document was cited in last week's story, which was based on the
forthcoming book, "John F. Kerry: The Complete Biography," written by
a team of Globe reporters.

Meehan said yesterday that the campaign would show that document to
what he called "legitimate" news organizations. He said other records
previously shared with the Globe -- including documents describing
Kerry's actions when he was awarded the Silver and Bronze stars --
would be shared with other reporters. Asked whether Kerry would
release his evaluations, as Clark did during the primaries, Meehan
responded: "We don't have Wesley Clark's evaluations." Asked directly
whether Kerry would release all of his own evaluations, Meehan
repeated that the campaign would release only the records already made
available.

Meehan similarly said no new records would be released when asked if
the campaign would make public other medical records besides the one
related to the first Purple Heart.

He HAS released all his records, asshole. Made-up stuff
doesn't count.

Are you not content with your narrow-minded, socially regressive views?
Perhaps all that anti-Semitic rhetoric is finally beginning to ebb your
analytical abilities.

It proves beyond doubt that not only are you a simpleton, a racist and a
xenophobic moron, but also that you are a blatant liar.

April 20, Reuters

Amid questions about his military records, John Kerry (news - web sites)'s
campaign on Tuesday provided certification of his medals from the Vietnam
War, including three Purple Hearts for combat injuries.

Kerry spokesman Michael Meehan said the campaign was in the process of
compiling the rest of Kerry's naval record and planned to begin posting it
on the Internet by day's end. Kerry said all his military records are
available to the public during an appearance Sunday on NBC's "Meet the
Press."

Meehan said the Massachusetts senator and presumptive Democratic
presidential nominee requested a copy of his record from the Navy last month
and received roughly 150 pages last week. He said the campaign was in the
process of scanning images of the documents Tuesday and they would be posted
on Kerry's Web site.

Has not bothered to address the fact, nay, the hard fact, that his posting
that 'Kerry Refuses to Release Personal Records' was a blatant lie, clearly
repudiated by a news story that was posted in this space yeserday.

Uh, son, according to the a CNNTimeGallupCBSNewYorkTimesZogby, the
electorate is split down the middle. A statistical dead-heat, though I'm not
sure whether your neolithic brain can comprehend multiple syllable words.

So the statement that "the American elecorate have completely separated you
and your ilk" may be a slight exaggeration. Very slight.

I have every intention to.

Who said the country's "****ed-up", numbnuts?

Home ownership rates, standards-of-living and life expectancies are
all at all-time highs, the economy is humming, the Soviet Union and
attendant communist states have been vanquished (as have the Taliban
and Saddam's dictatorship), leftism has been duly marginalized, the
influence of corrupt labor unions is on the wane, the public school
monopoly is being broken, crime is down and the stock market is up.

Sure the **** beats socialism.

Enjoy your continued irrelevence.

The economy is indeed giving a hummer, sucking big-time.
That Saudi-Bush oil deal'll be great though, wish they'd
hurry up.

the Soviet Union and

Communism because it is a stupid-ass non-workable
system. Reagan slept through the whole thing.

(as have the Taliban


Oh they have!? Why are we still looking for them?


and Saddam's dictatorship),


At a ridiculously high cost/benefit ratio.



leftism has been duly marginalized,

Don't bet on it.

the
influence of corrupt labor unions is on the wane,

Replaced by a corrupt administration in the lap of corrupt
industrialists.


the public school monopoly is being broken,

Hence the rise of right-wing causes. Stupider people= more rightists.

crime is down and

Everywhere but in the Bush administration.

the stock market is up.

Good for the wealthy friends of Bush, of little value to
working Americans. Maybe we should celebrate by giving
another tax-cut to the wealthy so they can buy MORE stock.

Get back in the real world, Uncle Tom.

The best way to make health care available is to get government out of it
and create an economy that allows the maximum amount of
people who want to work the ability to get work.

It is a certainty that the more government involvement the higher the real
cost.
