>>You haven't been following the story. Allen. After much dodging & promising during the campaign, Kerry did sign a Form 180 - but on the Form 180, you have to specify to whom you are releasing your records. Kerry did not make his records public. He released them only to the Globe reporter (and one other NYT reporter, if I remember correctly). Now this was a friendly reporter on a friendly home-town paper, you get my drift?<< Nadine - You are absolutely correct that I haven't been following the story. I don't think there is a real story here. Highly partisan attacks were made during the campaign, were not well substantiated, but were nonetheless repeated ad nauseum. Kerry did not respond well to the attacks, and lost the election by a narrow margin. To my mind, his loss was a direct result of the attacks and Kerry's mistaken belief that responding only dignified the attacks. To you and others, Kerry's decision not to file lawsuits and lay bare his entire medical records prove the charges are true. I remain skeptical, because the source of the attack is highly questionable. I don't see why this story is important now, other than to demonstrate the depths to which Karl Rove and his minions will sink. - Allen
