materials available to The Washington Post in 2004, the Kerry campaign cited an exclusivity agreement with Brinkley. However, Brinkley subsequently told the paper that he interpreted the agreement as requiring only that quotations from the materials cite his book. During the 2004 campaign, Kerry released hundreds of documents related to his military service, including his reserve and discharge documents. The conservative organization Judicial Watch filed a request for Kerry's records with the Navy under the Freedom of Information Act. The Navy provided Judicial Watch with a biographical data sheet on Kerry, two citations and one certificate for the Silver Star medal, two citations and one certificate for the Bronze Star medal, and three sets of orders and certificates for the Purple Heart. The Navy was required to withhold an additional 31 pages of personnel records because a release authorization was not provided, but referred the requester to Kerry's website which contained documents exempted from disclosure. Kerry was attacked by SBVT and some media entities for not authorizing independent public access to his privacy protected service records.

Judicial Watch also filed a Freedom of Information Act request for documentation of the investigation. On October 4, 2004 the Navy Inspector General's office responded with documentation of the investigation. Included within the Navy Inspector General's documentation was a discussion of the duplicate medal citations Kerry had received in 1985: In an October
