You do realize that article is from October 2007, right?
Let's join each other in 2008. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...022902989.html
Great last line:"So calling on the Clintons to release their papers makes for great campaign theater. But it's theater that has no bearing on reality." |
The article I posted is less than five months old. I don't think that much has changed.
The law says that the materials should be available to the public five years after an administration ends. The documents aren't. Perhaps they should have started the vetting process within the five year window, so the documents would be available now.
While you are accepting of a Washington Post's editorial page contributor's take, I'm not. I think the Clintons are happy with the hold-up, or they would make more things available themselves, like the tax returns.
And if they hadn't had a reputation for withholding documents that might be damaging, I think I'd be more accepting of the claims in the article. But they were, and I'm not.
