Bush blocks Clinton papers from 9/11 panel
"But...but...they're highly sensitive!" squeals WH spokes-hamster Scott McClellan.
Yeah, to the Bush misadministration. The Clinton papers contain thousands of pages relating to Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, and terrorism. What do the Bushies have? Toilet paper.
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 President Bill Clinton's White House files from being turned over to the panel's investigators.
The commission and the White House were reacting to public complaints from former aides to Mr. Clinton, who said they had been surprised to learn that three-quarters of the nearly 11,000 pages of files the former president was ready to offer the commission had been withheld by the Bush administration.
