I'll just repost what UCANSEE2 wrote because I couldn't have said it better myself.
Here is the reason I believe Bush is doing this for the right reason and not to misuse it.
Aware the White House was considering such a new policy, members of Congress have raised concerns that it will hinder lawmakers from giving proper oversight to federal prosecutions, noting scandals in the past would never have been exposed if Congress had been kept from sensitive documents.
If members of Congress don't like it, that tell's you something. If having access to these documents allowed exposure of scandals by Congress, why do scandals have to be exposed by everyone else but Congress? And why when Congress has full access to these scandals, do they go stick their head in the sand ??????
I have a feeling the words "giving proper oversight" means deciding what they want to keep buried to cover their own asses!
I wonder how big the voter turnout would be if we had a -NONE OF THE ABOVE- vote?
How about a -KICK 'EM ALL OUT VOTE?
They,(meaning OUR GOVERNMENT) won't give us a choice.
