If Kerry 'should' release his 180 than Bush should also. Otherwise what you are espousing is a red herring and totally disingenuous.

Bush already gave permission for ALL his military records to be released......last February. In fact....he ORDERED it. Now. When is John Kerry going to do the same thing?????
"Bush Orders Release of Military Records"
Saturday, February 14, 2004
WASHINGTON —
President Bush released hundreds of pages of his military records Friday in an effort to counter growing talk that he might have shirked his duty while serving in the Texas Air National Guard (search) more than thirty years ago.
The documents, many of which were duplicates, provided details about Bush’s service in the Guard from 1968 until 1973. The president’s medical records, dozens of pages in all, were also opened to reporters in the Roosevelt Room (search), but were not allowed to be taken out of the room.
Democrats have wondered, especially in recent weeks as the 2000 presidential race heats up, whether Bush showed up for temporary duty in Alabama while serving on a political campaign between May of 1972 and May of 1973. The documents released Friday provided no new evidence that he was in Alabama during that time.
A retired Alabama Air National Guard officer, however, said he remembers Bush being in Alabama in 1972, reading safety magazines and flight manuals in an office as he performed his weekend obligations.
"I saw him each drill period," retired Lt. Col. John "Bill" Calhoun said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from Daytona Beach, Fla."

So....Pres. Bush has ORDERED the military to release ALL his military records. And that's resulted in HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF RECORDS.
So far, all the reporters can get when they go to find records on Kerry is 6 pages. The military says they have hundreds more....but Kerry hasn't given them permission to release them. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YA??? WHY DOESN'T HE???? WHAT'S HE HIDING???
