President AWOL, the sequel

Questions surrounding the status of Bush's military records will simply not abate. Last week, the AP filed suit to gain access to the microfilm of the records, which, by law, should be in the Texas state archives. The microfilm is important because it will show any inconsistencies with the paper records that the administration Friday-night dumped on the press earlier this year, specifically, which paper records have been tampered with or disappeared.

Meanwhile, Orcinus provides a summary of an exhaustive investigation by Paul Lukasiak. According to his encyclopediac-sized report Bush was, in fact, a deserter.

As I've written before, the Administration's attempt to brush this off last winter was stupid and clumsy. The press is lazy, but if they begin to smell blood in the water, their editors will start asking questions and putting resources behind getting a "scoop."

Hopefully this will come to a full boil around, oh, October 20th.
