AP asks judge to order quick release of Bush military records

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, the AP argued in papers filed in federal court in New York.

Those records came from federal records clearinghouses. Texas law requires separate record keeping for state National Guard service, and those records should exist on microfilm in Austin, the AP said.

3. On 9/11

the records had been on loan from the TANG to the Emergency office in WTC 7. Alas, they were lost...LOST..in the ensuing tragedy. what "unearn-ed luck" to quote Shakespeare...

Also on loan were the records of the energy conference...what a...coincidence!

LOL...

I frankly do not see why we need to see these records but for this--------

The GOP keeps saying we are so un-American. On the whole I think we just do not need to know all this about our Presidents. Warts, divorce records, old girl friends, the whole thing has got out of hand.
