Faster, faster, more, more! Stop! Posted by Jon Henke Josh Marshall has been absolutely unrelenting in his demands that the Bush administration release his National Guard Records. Feb 8, 2004 - "...in the relatively near future, as much as they may wriggle, his aides will either have to come forward with those records or go back on the commitment the president made in front of the whole country." Feb 10, 2004 - "...it's not clear to me what hold up there would be on releasing all those records to news organizations. And another matter. The White House is already trying to wriggle out of the president's commitment to release all the records about his military service." Feb 10, 2004 - "More to the point, this is still the White House selectively releasing records. As nearly as I can tell the president is still refusing to waive his Privacy Act rights and allow the government to release all his military service records to the press, without having them filtered through the White House." Feb 11, 2004 - "Can't come clean. Won't release the records he said he would. Sorta seems like there's a problem lurking in there, don't it?" That was then, though, and this is now. Today, Josh Marshall is crying uncle... Of course, the fact that the White House has wrangled this issue down to poring over a million different records that I myself can hardly keep track of means they've largely neutralized this issue through that classic Washington method of the death of a thousand docs. Shorter Marshall: "Damn you, President Bush, for taking my advice!" It's sad to see somebody whore himself out like this for a party.
