President Bush signed an executive order today to allow a sitting president to keep secret the papers of a previous president, even if a previous president wants his papers made public. Administration officials said the order would provide an "orderly process" to help archivists handle requests for presidential papers. Ari Fleischer, the White House press secretary, said today that "more information will be forthcoming" because of the order.
Wow...what a perfect example of "doublespeak".
Way to cover-you-a$$es guys!
I keep telling people "he's just a politician" and all politicians are suspect at all times. This incident is a good example of why politicians, all of them, are completely capable of self-serving sleaze when it suits them.
Bush Jr. is no exception.
