(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. Navy released documents Wednesday contradicting claims by Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry that all of his available military records have been released.
The Navy, responding to a Freedom of Information Act request from the legal watchdog group Judicial Watch, also referred interested parties to Kerry's campaign web site for government military documents.
Navy Personnel Command FOIA Officer Dave German wrote in an e-mail to Judicial Watch that the Navy "withheld thirty-one pages of documents from the responsive military personnel service records as we were not provided a release authorization."
A "release authorization" would have to come from Kerry filling out and signing a Standard Form 180, something he has yet to do. A Standard Form 180 would authorize the complete release of all his military records. Judicial Watch filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests in August to obtain Kerry's military records.

It's starting to look like Kerry has much more to hide than Bush does (I thought this in the beginning). I think Kerry's action to attack Bush's military record is goingt to bite him back, if that article is true about his lies, then wow that's not a man you want running this country. I knew he was hiding things, but after that article, keep in mind if it's all true, then he better come forward and step up like a man and fess up, we don't need pansies running this country, we need responsible men and women running it.

This could go in either of Salty's two newest threads...but does anyone else find it funny that these two (Kerry and Bush) have to justify everything they did during Vietnam, while Clinton got away with being in England without too much of a thought? Hahaha...that guy pimped it in the oval office...in more ways than one...

Clinton was running against Bush v1.0(who was a real war hero) and knew better to bring up millitary service.
