perhaps trying to keep the press from noseing into his business in this war on terrorism?

First, what do you think Bush would want to hide about the war on terrorism - twelve years after he has left office? Sources and methods are protected indefinitely as things stood before Bush decided to make America a more secret country. [I agree with keeping sources and methods classified. I don't agree with keeping classified great mistakes, cowardly mistakes, outright treachery, blatant criminality, etc. But I guess the point can be debated.]

Can you name anything which has been released from any Presidential Library which caused great harm to our country?[I and close friends have done considerable research in a couple of Presidential Libraries. The secrecy was already stifling. Much WWII information will not be made public while anyone alive still lives. I don't like that kind of America, but I guess you and most Americans do.]

I believe he is afraid of many things from the Reagan years, things his father had a big hand in. But, as long as America remains ignorant of great mistakes and crimes, I guess it's ok, it's the kind of people we are.

The truth as it stands is this;

1. We have new Police Powers that allow them to enter American Homes and Business secretly, and look at any of Our documents.

2. We have new Executive orders from Bush, that guard the secrecy of Presidential Documents.

It does not take a rocket scientist to see what is happening.

I saw an interview once with the guy in charge of declassifying documents for the national archives. One thing he said stuck in my mind. He said that the oldest document still classified dates from 1917. He also said that he's seen it and it's "dynamite."

So what could it be that it still has to be kept a secret today? I've got two theories: 1) It pertains to the British royal family, or, and more likely, 2) it has something to do with the Russian Revolution. But what? U.S. involvement? Stalin was an American spy? What could it be?
