AWOL: Did the WH release EVERYTHING sent last night?

[grasswire]

From the WH briefing today:

"Yes, we have provided some additional information from the Air Reserve Personnel Center in Denver, Colorado. The records will be released shortly, and the records that we will be releasing include the annual retirement point summaries, which we previously made available during the 2000 campaign, and these payroll records documenting the dates on which he was paid for serving."

Did the WH release everything that was sent from the AFPC?

Or are some documents being held back?

1. Is there a site to download the documents from?

I'm getting impatient!

2. Press Sec, asked directly today, said this was all........?

3. The press didn't even get good copies

What they had was illegible- lots of questions about that during the press conference.
WH said they would release better copies this afternoon. Still waiting...

6. here's the quote

Q Scott, could you just tell us, are these all the documents you got, you received, here at the White House, from Colorado, or have you kept some in reserve? And also --

MR. McCLELLAN: No, these --

Q -- do you expect any additional documents from St. Louis or from Colorado?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, as always, I said that we would -- if there is additional information that comes to our attention, we will make sure to get you that information. This is the information that we understand is available from the Personnel Center in Denver, Colorado.

Q And that's all that they sent you, this is the extent of all the documents?

MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, this is what they sent us. And we just put it in our own email and sent it out for you all.

......................................................

I don't think McClellan answered absolutely.

4. Two points.

(1) It has now been revealed that the mighty DOD can actually find paper when it wants to. The media or talented FOIA-ers should now ask for the unit records for the Alabama ANG unit, the Lebenty-leventh Recon Squadron or whatever it is, for the pertinent time period. These will contain the NG equivalents of Morning Reports and Monthly Rosters and Reports of Changes (Army terms). Like, the NG Morning Report might be called 'Unit Military Strength Balance Report' or whatnot. It should be obvious that the military services need to know where the men and women are serving, how many are 'in transit', etc. because the people who do Manning Support, Readiness Reports, etc. have to know this to do their job. I've googled around and found that many vets FOIA these unit reports to look up buds, wax nostalgic over old units, settle bets over when a unit was disbanded or what unit it turned into, etc. Our military has astounding bureaucratic chops, and when I googled stuff I found folks looking over Morning Reports from the 1860's! So Show me Shrub on an AANG Monthly Roster!


(2) There is a story waiting to be told about how these records came to light, how they got to the WH etc. Did Shrub sign privacy waivers last weekend? Did records personnel take it on themselves to 'violate' his privacy? Did the WH request only the records that the 'political activist' suggested? Scotty was very unclear on this today, if I read things right. I believe there are things about this they would rather not go into. Which, naturally, makes me want to go into it.

5. I'm willing to bet real money we never see Shrub's DD214.
