What goes around...

The Associated Press asked a federal judge Friday to order the Pentagon to quickly turn over a full copy of President Bush's military service record.

The Associated Press asked a federal judge Friday to order the Pentagon to quickly turn over a full copy of President Bush's military service record.

The White House has released partial documentation of Bush's military service in the Texas Air National Guard but has not complied with the news service's Freedom of Information Act request for any record archived at a state library records center in Texas, the AP said in a court filing.

Records released so far do not put to rest questions over whether Bush fulfilled his National Guard service for a period during the Vietnam War... "A significant, ongoing controversy exists over the president's military service during the Vietnam War, specifically whether he performed his required service between May and October 1972," lawyers for the AP wrote.

There also are allegations that potentially embarrassing material was removed from Bush's military file in 1997, when he was running for re-election as Texas governor, the AP said.

"The public has an intense and legitimate interest in knowing the facts concerning the president's military service.

I am very pleased to hear that the AP is not giving up on this issue. We have a right to know about "President" Bush's military record, especially since he and his campaign are quick to draw Kerry's into question. What I find most disturbing isn't the refusal to release the files, but the allegation that Bush has already tampered with the files to help his gubernatorial race in 97.

Gee, good thing Bush isn't a liar like Clinton was...
