1. We'll know at 11:45 ET I suppose...

I was wondering what it was myself. Doesn't sound like the FBI to be releaseing any information - much less information that may be damaging to the president.

2. What blogger is requesting FBI files?

3. Enquiring minds want to know.

I'm waiting. It is now 11:30 EST.
Pass the :popcorn:

4. Oh pshaw! I read it as "slime" file. n/t

[eleny]

5. And I read it as "slime film"!

[Blue Belle]

6. OOPS! I did too.

:dunce:

7. Me too!

Slime file is long overdue.

:rofl:

8. That's what it said at first at Raw Story

Now it's been changed. At first I thought maybe Georgie had a past working with the Ghostbusters and I'd missed it somehow.

9. How did Gannon/Guckert pass Secret Service background check?

This Gannon story needs to come back to the front page.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has released 20 pages of President George W. Bush's FBI file to an activist blogger who sought the president's records under a Freedom of Information Act Request last summer, RAW STORY has learned.

The release, which comprises two threats made against the president in 2001 and 2003, is scant. It includes letters from the U.S. Secret Service to the FBI forensic laboratory to request DNA analyses and the lab's replies. There is no information about the president's background.

Michael Petrelis, who keeps a blog and is a longtime gay activist, obtained the file and believes the FBI has withheld much of their records on the president. Those who deal regularly with such requests have told RAW STORY most of the president's record is protected by privacy provisions in the information law.

12. "Michael Petrelis, who keeps a blog and is a longtime gay activist..."

I would hazard to guess that Mr. Petrelis now has an FBI file much, much bigger than the President's!
