I still can't quite figure why they keep stalling in the release of the Reagan papers after 12 years, unless, there is detrimental information on Bush I.

And with that my friend you hit the nail right on the head!
The evidence almost came out on Bush I, and he had to pardon practically the entire Cabinet on Christmas Day just before he left office so that the [Iran/Contra] evidence would be buried forever. Bush II wants no messy scene like that at the end of their tenure.
It's every FReepers wet dream to have Clinton and his cohorts hunted down and dragged before the firing squad but it's time you all got over that fantasy - it ain't gonna happen. Bush II knows this and doesn't want to set a dangerous precedent by giving a nutcase like Burton any ammunition.
Remember when Clinton signed the Bill reauthorizing the Special Prosecutor Law (despite having been advised against it)? Bet he wishes now that he had followed the advice he was given and let the law expire. You can bet Bush II ain't gonna do anything that stupid that could come back to bite him.
