"The loss was announced by the Defense Department's Office of Freedom of Information".

Oh dear, that's a bit embarrassing isn't it! Where does one go in America to get honest information then?


[Quote]: You have NO idea how common it is for DFAS and PERSCOM (personnel command) to lose/destroy/misplace paperwork.

I'm sure it's quite common (though not very competent), but how common is it that they just happen to lose controversial information at exactly the right time to ensure that important facts are covered up? And why haven't they mentioned it before if The New York Times and other news organizations have for nearly half a year sought Mr. Bush's complete service file under the open-records law? How come there was no mention of the loss, for example, when White House officials released hundreds of pages of the President's military records last February?

Incompetence again? Ignorance perhaps?

And how do we know that it was the Clinton Administration who misplaced the paperwork? That's just a Pentagon claim, and unfortunately the veracity of a claim from the Pentagon is becoming more and more suspect.

"But Mr. Moore said the president could still authorize the release of other withheld records that would shed light on his service record."

Then why on earth doesn't he do it?


So many questions, so few honest answers.
It makes you wonder doesn't it.
