The text of the article: "The patient admission record logs that you seek are exempt from release," wrote G.E. Lattin, Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate General, "as information in personnel and medical files, as well as similar personal information in other files, that if disclosed to a requestor, other than the actual person in which the information is pertaining to or next of kin, would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." Duh? Medical records are private. If the magazine wants them so bad, they should be asking the person or family in question. A story about how they 'think' someone might have been hurt or killed, but can't prove it, shows more about the incompetence of the reporters than it does about the Navy. Stephan
