I'm really really really sick of this baseless argument of theirs.
I'm not. They are taking the exact same path they took when they entered the "quagmire". (Heck, the first time Bush pulled this was when the liberals complained there was no evidence Clinton's admin trashed the WH.) It is so patently obvious that Bush is playing them like a fiddle. This "disclosure" given to CNN of all places is Bush's way of giving them all a giant hint that he knows they will ignore.
Bush always gives his opponents-(whether political or terrorists) plenty of chances. For some reason they almost never see it or they refuse to see it.
Mark this down, the administration is sitting on plenty of evidence and it will be presented in one nice neat package once the investigation is virtually complete. By that time Bush's critics will be so far on out on the limb it will be impossible for them to deny it when the fall.
