Bush told Hadley to expedite the release of the Iraq documents. "This stuff ought to be out. Put this stuff out." The president would reiterate this point before the meeting adjourned. And as the briefing ended, he approached Pence, poked a finger in the congressman's chest, and thanked him for raising the issue. When Pence began to restate his view that the documents should be released, Bush put his hand up, as if to say, "I hear you. It will be taken care of."
Yes I stand corrected (Earlier in the article similar words were not quoted).
One scenario is that Bush had his mind changed after the meeting by Negroponte. Negroponte is a Bush appointee who is one of the good-guys in Washington. His long record of being on our side has made him an enemy of the left.
Most likely Negroponte advised the President not to release the documents and the President said okay let's not.
