More evidence that the President's word

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.
