What do you mean?

What a strange comment.

What do you mean? What a strange comment

For one example:

exerpts from: Who'll Let the Docs Out? Bush wants to release the Saddam files but his intelligence chief stalls. by Stephen F. Hayes From the March 20, 2006 issue 03/10/2006

"Bush replied that he wanted the documents released. He turned to Hadley and asked for an update. Hadley explained that John Negroponte, Bush's Director of National Intelligence, "owns the documents" and that DNI lawyers were deciding how they might be handled.

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.

It was not the first time Bush has made clear his desire to see the Iraq documents released. ...Hoekstra asked Bush about the documents and the president said he was pressing to have them released.

Says Pence: "I left both meetings with the unambiguous impression that the president of the United States wants these documents to reach the American people."

Negroponte never got the message. Or he is choosing to ignore it. He has done nothing to expedite the exploitation of the documents. And he continues to block the growing congressional effort, led by Hoekstra, to have the documents released."
