Kerry Signs Form 180?

Yes, supposedly, months after he promised to do so, John Kerry finally signed form 180, releasing all of his military records.
But, of course, the only journalist so far permitted to see them is Michael Kranish, the Boston Globe stooge who indistinguished himself during the campaign by simultaneously "reporting" on John Kerry while serving as his campaign (read friendly) biographer.

Why all the stalling?

"Asked why he delayed signing the form for so long, Kerry said in a written response: ''The call for me to sign a 180 form came from the same partisan operatives who were lying about my record on a daily basis on the Web and in the right-wing media. Even though the media was discrediting them, they continued to lie. I felt strongly that we shouldn't kowtow to them and their attempts to drag their lies out."

Many of the records contain praise for Kerry's service. For example, the documents quote Kerry's former commanding officers as saying he is ''one of the finest young officers with whom I have served;" is ''the acknowledged leader of his peer group;" and is ''highly recommended for promotion."

Kerry's refusal to waive privacy restrictions dates back to at least May 2003, when the Globe asked in writing for Kerry to sign the Form 180. As questions were raised about various actions in Vietnam, the Kerry campaign gradually released documents last year, but had not authorized the release of the entire file until now."

So, one of the original rightwingers wanted the truth is the Boston Globe?
