Bush releases arrest details From correspondents in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 13feb04 THE White House today released details of President George W Bush's arrests and traffic violations as a young man amid questions about his military service at the height of the Vietnam war. Spokesman Scott McClellan revealed the information because of questions stemming from the fact that they were blacked out on National Guard forms given to US media, sparking more questions about Bush's actions 30 years ago. McClellan said Bush had previously disclosed arrests for stealing a Christmas wreath while a student at Yale University, and for rowdiness at a football game. McClellan also listed speeding tickets from July and August of 1964 and two collisions, one in 1962 and another in August 1962 - downplaying the Guard's decision to black out the information. "I'm just amazed by the kinds of conspiracy theories that some have chosen to pursue," he said on board Air Force One. "The American people deserve better. They deserve an honest discussion about leadership in a time of war." McClellan said the National Guard likely blacked out the records for privacy reasons but that the White House had received an unredacted copy. Bush, 57, avoided combat in Vietnam by enlisting in the Texas Air National Guard, but opposition Democrats have raised questions about whether he served during a murky period between May 1972 and May 1973. The White House has released payroll records, statements of points earned toward leaving the guard, and even data from a dental exam in hopes of quieting a potentially damaging election-year controversy over Bush's service. The leading Democratic candidate, John Kerry, is a decorated Vietnam war veteran who has not been shy about campaigning with former comrades in arms while he attacks Bush over the war in Iraq.
