Kerry was attacked by SBVT and some media entities for not authorizing independent public access to his privacy protected service records. After the election, on May 20, 2005, he did sign a Standard Form 180 allowing full release of all his military service records, including his reserve and discharge records, as well as his medical records, to the Associated Press, the "Boston Globe", and the "Los Angeles Times". A spokesman for Kerry declined the "New York Sun's" request to be included on that release. The "Boston Globe" reported that the material largely duplicated what Kerry had released during the campaign, and included no "substantive new material".
