Clinton was going to give over 7,000 pages of documents to the 9/11 commission that the Bush White House withheld.
Wonder if they've found Hillary's billing records yet? Bush is probably embarassed because his notes on terrorism prior to 9/11 consisted of two missplaced memos and Saddam's private phone number scrawled on a beer napkin W and Dick used one "crazy" night for prank calls.
WASHINGTON, April 1 -- The commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks said on Thursday that it was pressing the White House to explain why the Bush administration had blocked thousands of pages of classified foreign policy and counterterrorism documents from former President Bill Clinton's White House files from being turned over to the panel's investigators.
The White House confirmed on Thursday that it had withheld a variety of classified documents from Mr. Clinton's files that had been gathered by the National Archives over the last two years in response to requests from the commission, which is investigating intelligence and law enforcement failures before the attacks.
Scott McClellan, the White House spokesman, said some Clinton administration documents had been withheld because they were "duplicative or unrelated," while others were withheld because they were "highly sensitive" and the information in them could be relayed to the commission in other ways. "We are providing the commission with access to all the information they need to do their job," Mr. McClellan said.
APRIL FOOLS, the Jokes on us.
Query: If there were over 11,000 documents relating to terrorism comming from the Clinton administration, is it not sheer sophist propaganda to claim that all Clinton did was lob some cruise missiles and otherwise use ineffective "law enforcement" methods to deal with al Qaeda? The only person in that administration who even knew how to spell al Qaeda was the now vilified Richard Clarke.
