It really makes sense that he'd actively try to keep these secret.

The newly released documents shed no new light on the most controversial periods of his service.

So two retired army lawyers combed through numerous boxes that had been mothballed thirty years ago and came up with additional documents. It's significant, IMO, that the AP article doesn't identify what those documents are beyond that they include orders for high altitude training. So? Did Bush not show up for that training?

What else do they include? Requisition forms for pencils? Records indicating that Bush tore his flight suit and it needed repair?

Note the following: A Texas National Guard spokesman, Lt. Col. John Stanford, defended the continuing discoveries, saying Guard officials did not find all of Mr. Bush's records because they were disorganized and in poor condition, in boxes filled with dirt and dead bugs.

More importantly, do you have any evidence that the administration has intentionally withheld documents? I think not.

Richard D. Rosen and Calvin Lewis, the retired Army lawyers who are now Texas Tech University law school professors, reviewed the boxes of files earlier this week and turned the material over to The Associated Press on Thursday night.

What we have learned for certain is the two lawyers are democrats.
