Kerry and the Boston Globe prove untrustworthy

The Boston Globe's handling of John Kerry's Form 180 is another good example of the MSM working in collusion with a Democrat to mislead the public. Neither is worthy of our trust or respect.

John O'Neill of the Swift Vets explains how Kerry is being duplicitous:

We called for Kerry to execute a form which would permit anyone to examine his full and unexpulgated military records at the Navy Department and the National Personnel Records Center. Instead he executed a form permitting his hometown paper to obtain the records currently at the Navy Department. The Navy Department previously indicated its records did not include various materials. This is hardly what we called for. If he did execute a complete release of all records we could then answer questions such as (1)Did he ever receive orders to Cambodia or file any report of such a mission (whether at Christmas or otherwise); (2) What was his discharge status between 1970 and 1978 (when he received a discharge) and was it affected by his meetings in 1970 and 1971 with the North Vietnamese? (3)why did he receive much later citations for medals purportedly signed by Secretary Lehman who said he did not know of them; (4) Are there Hostile Fire and Personnel Injured by Hostile Fire Reports for Kerry's Dec. 1968 Purple Heart (when the officer in charge of the boat Admiral Schacte, the treating Surgeon Louis Letson, and Kerry's Division Commander deny there was hostile fire causing a scratch) awarded three months later under unknown circumstances.

Hugh Hewitt nails the Globe:

As for the Globe, why in the world doesn't the paper post the documents on the web site for all to see and read? Answer: A bastion of MSM is playing guardian of the news again, interpreting the docs for the public too limited to understand. Even the article on Kerry's Yale grades is spun round. Rather than just providing the transcript, this article launches into a comparison of the Yale records of Bush and Kerry, concluding "that Bush and Kerry had a virtually identical grade average at Yale University four decades ago." Did they take the same courses? Did they have wild fluctuations? Who knows, and the Globe isn't telling you.

Finally, Kerry's answer on why he didn't release his records during the campaign tells you all you'll ever need to know about how pathetic he is:

''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.'"
