National Guard questions still brewing

Steve Perry writes that the scandal over Bush's National Guard record is "hardly over, though Democrats would do well to turn the focus from the matter of Bush’s service--about which two-thirds of the public does not care, according to a Washington Post poll--to the abiding cover-up, which speaks volumes about the way the Bushmen do business."

Despite the release of Bush's entire record, which was a long time coming, the new documents don't resolve the gaps in Dubya's service record.

Furthermore, the administration may have opened up a Pandora's Box with their release. Journalists are now pressing Scott McClellan hard about whether Bush was performing community service during the time he was supposed to be serving in Alabama.
