Clinton’s papers will be destroyed before they see the light of day. Much the way much of the real history of the USSR will never be known. Even in that brief period of openness after the fall of the USSR, it was evident Stalin’s archives had been extensively vetted.

Same will happen to the papers of our own totalitarian-wanna be’s.

That’s a very astute observation, even if entirely obvious. I for one didn’t key in on it.

I have come to the opinion that presidential papers should be collected and handled by a government agency. I am loathe to do that because I don’t like the idea of government being involved in most things, but a public committee set up by the president’s themselves has proven to be essentially a criminal enterprise in some instances. Clinton being the real proof of this.

Thanks for the comment.

BTW, Bush really screwed the pooch when he blocked access to presidential papers for extended periods of time. In the intance of Bill Clinton and even his own dad, it was vitally important that he not do so. It was one of his major failings IMO.

Exactly. Sandy Burglar was only one aspect of the campaign.
