Bush got asked about all this in the interview, so obviously it is still a serious concern. Russert is hardly on the Democrat side as well, Bush didn't really get any hard questions.

As in the interview all Bush has to do is to release all his records which he hasn't done. That should solve all these mysteries. It's not the crime it's the coverup, people not unnaturally assume that he is hiding his records because there's is something bad there. If he wants to stonewall them then he gets what usually happens to politicians who stonewall and cover up facts.

The article has a new twist claiming the documents show Bush was transferred to a different unit for punishment for failing to turn up. If so then some statements he made so far may be untrue. Of course a Bush lying is hardly news, especially after all the porkies in the budget and in the Russert interview about government spending.

So it may be new information that may indicate Bush has lied about this, I can just imagine Gingrich sitting on something like that if Clinton was involved.
