It's “Free John Kerry's 180” Tuesday

Questions still remain with John Kerry's 180. Yes, Kerry did file the 180, but only authorized three people to receive the files, Glen Johnson (the AP), Steve Braun (the LA Times), and Michael Kranish (the Boston Globe). Powerline has copies of the 180s, thanks to one of their readers who obtained them through a Freedom of Information Act request. And Powerline raises some interesting questions:

Did the reporters discuss their role with Kerry or his representative before they were designated to receive the records? Were they required to agree not to make the records public, but only to report on them? What other discussions did they have with Kerry or his representatives? Are they willing to release the records, or at a minimum give us an inventory of what they received so that we can assess the completeness of the disclosure?

As always, Cao's Blog has an interesting take on John Kerry's 180:

We understand that this French-looking Taxachusetts native might be a wee leary of distributing more information from his records, given that little, um, factoid that slipped out about his sub-presidential academic achievements at Yale. But, really, we simply want the truth, dear Senator. That to which even Boy Scouts aspire.
