A lawyer for two Pentagon whistleblowers also told the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday that the Defense Intelligence Agency last year destroyed files on the Army's computer data-mining program known as Able Danger to avoid disclosing the information.
I don't see what the Bush administration would have to gain by this either.

The Chinese stole a lot of very important military technology from the US during the Clinton administration.

People around Clinton took the fall for receiving illegal campaign contributions from the Chinese government.

Clinton surounded himself with corrupt people. It's quite possible that this was shut down by one of them to cover their tracks.

Why would the Defense Intelligence Agency destroy the remaining records? It sounds like keeping those records, some of which included intelligence on US citizens was in violation of the law.

It's not clear if those copies were supposed to exist, or if they were someone's insurance policy.

"I don't see what the Bush administration would have to gain by this either."

Without knowing who gave the order to destroy the documents and their reason, it's hard to say that the bush administration ordered them destroyed. The information is a bit weak to know what happened.

Because Bush and Clinton both agreed to keep things secret the other wanted kept secret. A lot of back scratching. They aren't mortal enemies as some here wish.

If you were, like Clinton, a globalist why would you do anything different?

While they have less to hide than the Clintons, they still have something to hide.
