UK asks attorney general about victims' names

5L513i‘13l5ll“
mt muucxv mutt

UK legal counsel submitted a request to
the state attorney general Friday. seeking
an opinion about UK's policy to withhold
crime victims‘ information on police inci-
dent reports.

In its five-page request. UK legal coun~
sel argued that it has not implemented a
blanket policy to black out all information
for every victim. Instead. UK is withhold»
ing names and addresses of victims.

"There is no legitimate public purpose
in disclosing the identity of victims in di-
rect violation of their expressed desire not
to be publicly identified," wrote Barbara
Jones. UK's interim general counsel in the
request.

UK first cited its new records policy
when the Kernel asked for police reports at
the beginning of the fall semester.

Kernel editors have argued that provid-
ing victims‘ names gives reporters and the
public the ability to question police activity
and provide details important to the carn-
pus community's understanding of crintes.

Between Aug :51 and ”Thursday. UK Po-
lice fileti 21 incident reports with 11 vic-
tims requesting that their names be kept
private, the report said.

Jones also argtied that the details of the
incident report. excluding the victim infor-
mation. are available on the UK Police Web
site within 24 hours after the incident.

"Providing their names to the general
public and the media serves no public pur-
pose except to expose them to re-victimiza-
tion by the perpetrator. possible retaliation.
harassment or public ridicule." she wrote.

“That is wrong." said Jon Fieischaker.
general counsel to the Kentticky Press As-
sociation.

“No. i. there is no historical evidence
that aity of that is true. Victims have been
listed regularly and often for the past 30, 40.

50 years. And No. 2. it‘s not the choice of

the victim to be identified."

Jones would not comment further on
the case.

Nationwide. open records cases occur
fairly often. said Roy Moore. a media law
professor iii the (‘oliege of Communica-
tions aitd information Studies.

Moore said the press usually wins the
cases, but the trend is starting to reverse.

“Two reasons: One. there's a greater
concern with preserving privacy on the
part of the public. and two. security con-
cerns." Moore said.

"i don't think the support for open
records meetings and laws is as strong as it
once was from the public."

The Kentucky attorney general's office
had not received UK‘s request for an opin»
ion Tuesday afternoon. said Robert Jones.
acting director of the civil and environ-
mental iaw division within the office.

He said UK‘s request would be consid-
ered an “Office of the Attorney General"
opinion. which he described as more of a
“hypothetical legal decision” since the re-
quest isn't based on an appeal to a decision
or case.

The attorney general's office usually
takes at least two to three months to return
an opinion after requests such as UK's. he
said.

The Kernel also might file a request for

When Bob Kevoian and Tom Griswold

first hit the airwaves together in 1985?». they
were the wake-up call for a few thousand

Since then. they've gained a iistenership
of more than .1 million each week relying

 Group attacks Bush's service

By Ronald Brownstein
_ [OS IRmt'S TIIIT'S

WASHINGTON Escar
lating the campaign warfare
over the Vietnam era. a new
group founded by a veteran
Texas Democratic operative
will announce today a televi-
sion ad campaign reprising
charges that President Bush
failed to perform his service
in the Texas Air National
Guard while on temporary
assignment in Alabama.

The ad, funded by Texans
for Truth, features Robert
Mintz, a retired Lt. Colonel
in the Alabama Air National
Guard. who says he never
saw Bush while serving in
the same unit where they
were assigned to in 1972.

“It would be impossible to
be unseen in a unit of that
size." Mintz charges in the
ad, which the Texans for
Truth group posted on its
Web site yesterday after-
noon.

One source familiar with
the group’s plan said it
raised more than 8100.000 to
air the ad after sending an e
mail solicitation to members
of MoveOnorg. an online ad-
vocacy group that has been
among Bush‘s staunchest op»
ponents. and DriveDemocra-
cyorg. a spin~off group in
Texas.

“The money came in real-
ly fast." said the source. who
asked not to be identified,

This new ad drive ap»
pears in the wake of the ad
vertising assaults on Democ-
ratic nominee John Kerry
from Swift Boat VRGI‘ZHIS for
Truth. a conservative group
with strong Republican ties.
The group has accused the
Democratic nominee of this
representing his actions in
Vietnam and betraying fel~
low servicemen by pursuing
anti-war activities after to
turning from combat.

The source familiar with
Texans‘ for Truth plans said

it was considering running
the ad in some of the same
markets where the Swift boat
group aired. nearly all of
them in swing states

But the source added that
the group might also seek to
run the ad in states that haVe
suffered disproportionatcly
high levels of casualties iii
the Iraq war. The group will
announce its ad buy at a
news conference this morn
ing.

The new anti-Bush ad
comes as Kerry allies have
escalated their criticism of
the president's service record

and as both campaigns
awaited a piece from CBS's
60 Minutes examining Bush's
National Guard record

Texans for Truth was
founded last month by Gletiii
Smith. a longtime Texas he-
mocratic operative who ran
gubernatorial campaigns for
Ann Richards in 1990 and
Tony Sanchez in 2002.

Texans for Truth is a 527
organization. so natned for
the federal tax code that cre-
ated it. and is associated with
I)riveI)emocracyorg. a Texas
group directed by Smith.

I)rivel)emocracy
founded last spring with
money left over after
MoveOn ran a campaign. di-
rccted by Smith. opposing ul~
titnately successful Republi-
can efforts to redraw (‘on-
gressional district lines itt
Texas to help the GOP win
more seats

Steve Schmidt. the deputy
communications director for
the Bush campaign. said the
charges in the new ad about
the president‘s National
Guard service have been "to-
tally discredited" and would
be rejected by voters.

"His campaign is focused
on the past. The presi-
dent‘s campaign is focused
on the future." Schmidt said.

The 30-second ad focuses
on the controversial period

WHS

in 13073 when Bush requested
a ll £ill\It‘I' from the Texas Air
National Guard to serve with
a unit in i\l.’ll)£llll.‘t while he
worked oti the Senate cam
paigii of Republican Wintoii
Blount

Bush received permission
to traiii With the 187th Tacti-
cal Recontiaissancc Group iii
Montgomery froiti Septem~
her through November 1072

Ever since 3000. Bush has
faced questions of whether
he showed up to perform that
service. In ait interview on
NB("s .Tlct't t/ic I’rcss last Feb
ruary. Bush said charges that
he had failed to report for
duty were "Just wrong."

"There tnay be no evi-
dence. but I did report. Ulllt't‘~
vise l \youldn‘t h l\t‘ been
iioiioi ably disc h: it ”t t Bttsh
said. "‘-llit military doesiit
Work that way I got an hon-
orable discharge. and I did
show up in Alabama ”

Since then. the White
House has pointed to one for
mer member of the unit who
said he recalled seeing Bush
on the base at the time. But
several other members of the
l‘thh have told reporters
they have no recollection of
seeing Bush during that pert
od. And it is that charge the
new ad highlights.

In the ad. .\lint/.. the re
tired l.t (‘oloticl from the Al
abrima :\II‘ National Guard.
says that after the president
cited his service iii the unit
he could not recall seeing
him there.

”So l called friends.
know. ‘llid you know George
served in our unit'.’ Nah. I
never saw him there'" .\lintz
says in the ad.

'l‘ht ad 1(1oseA with text
tli it It ids ' Georgi Bush has
some explaining to do '

Documents released by
the Pentagon last July
showed that Bush wasn‘t
paid for the five months in
107‘: when he was assigned to

you

the Alabama unit. which sug-
gests he did not show up for
duty: But they also indicate
he had already accumulated
enough credits to meet his
obligation for the year.

(‘ritics have previously
attacked other aspects of
Bush's Vietnamcra service.
including the fact that he
vaulted over hundreds of
other young men waiting for
admission to the National
Guard and obtained a cover
ed pilot‘s slot. despite the fact
he had fewer qualifications
than other applicants and re»
ceived a low score on a pilot
aptitude test.

Scrutiny of the Air Na
tional Guard service contin
ued yesterday. as the Penta-
goti released a new round of
records to The Associated
Press. The documents
showed that Bush was not
with his Texas guard unit
the 147th Fighter Interceptor
Group in 1972 when it
joined in a "24»hour active
alert mission to safeguard
against surprise attack" in
the southern United States.

Ben Barnes. the former
Texas speaker of the House.
has recently said he felt
“ashamed" of helping Bush
anti other well~connected
young men obtain a slot in
the Guard. CBS News an.
nounced that it would feature
an interview with Barnes
tonight.

In a preemptive memo to
GOP leaders last night. Re-
publican National (‘ommit-
tee chairman Ed Gillespie
sought to portray Barnes as
an unreliable witness and
charged that Democrats are
"implementing a strategy of
