Bush AWOL: There are two sets of microfilm, not one
Froomkin clarifies (and rocks).
The microfilm that was "inadvertently destroyed" is not the same as the microfilm that AP is suing to have released:
Gee, I thought that "all" the Bush service records had already been released? That's what Bush promised, so it must have happened, right?
The microfilm that was "inadvertently destroyed" is not the same as the microfilm that AP is suing to have released:
The microfilm that the Pentagon reported destroyed was housed at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Denver and consisted only of a few months of payroll records -- albeit some of them from during the hotly contested third quarter of 1972.
The Associated Press lawsuit that Tomlin filed is for the microfilm of Bush's entire personnel file from the Texas Air National Guard. Those records are in Austin.
Gee, I thought that "all" the Bush service records had already been released? That's what Bush promised, so it must have happened, right?
