Looks as if, as predicted, Mr. Bush is going to try to weasel his way out of his pledge to release all records relevant to the question of his National Guard service. Or so Scott McClellan said today. If you want to believe that the lawyers and accountants of a trust-fund baby don't have copies of his old tax returns, go ahead and believe it. But the IRS has copies, and will make them available at the taxpayer's request.

Actually, I think the press is on this now, and unlikely to let go.

Richard Serrano at the LA Times has details on how the Freedom of Information Act process would work if a reporter wanted to ask to see the records the President promised to release.
