Advance warning would't help the Clintons.
They're smart enough to already have a defense
prepared for any possible charges.
They know what crimes they committed.
The Clinton's don't need to do an investigation first.
Secrecy only hurts Bush.
Secrecy makes it seem as if Bush isn't doing his job.
Secrecy makes Bush appear corrupt.
If Bush plans on operating in complete secrecy,
he should expect the skepticism
of those who don't see anything happening.
Secrecy is the only way to win a war. Secrecy prevent loose lips from sinking ships. Yet playing one's hand close to one's chest is strategy, not secrecy.
For instance, Daschle had agreed not to mention Bush's stance on ABM when briefed by the President. The little man nearly tripped over himself to get to a microphone and spill the beans before Putin was afforded an explanation directly from the President. Now, Bush has elected not to share his all of his future plans with our loose lipped congress.
Not revealing one's game plan (call it secrecy if you like), sir, is a must.
