Hey, y’all, this is Jebediah. Teach left the keys. Now, about this Kerry critter signing his 180’s, he has apparently done that, and submitted them, and released the info (h/t to Poliblog for the story link).
Senator John F. Kerry, ending at least two years of refusal, has waived privacy restrictions and authorized the release of his full military and medical records.
The records, which the Navy Personnel Command provided to the Globe, are mostly a duplication of what Kerry released during his 2004 campaign for president, including numerous commendations from commanding officers who later criticized Kerry’s Vietnam service.
But, here’s that there rub. The records were initially reported as being released to himself. So, did the Globe get all his records? I can see where Kerry wouldn’t have wanted his grades and transcript from Yale to be released, since he wouldn’t have been considered as one of those there intellectual type folks. But, is that really a good reason to not sign the forms for full release for so long? What kind of game has Kerry been playing?
Still and all, color me skeptical. Teach might not go for those conspiracy type theories, but, I ain’t Teach. Were the documents washed before hand? And, what I really want to know is, was he honorably discharged, as Kerry himself reported, or, was the HD granted when Carter took office? And where are the after action reports? The only one who knows whether the records were released in full is Kerry.
I think kerry is using the Navy and the Globe as pawns.
This is a rather definitive summary of the situation. I guess these guys got tired of explaining it to people.
