What Are They Hiding?
"a country that hides something is a country that is afraid of getting caught" - George W. Bush, so-called President of the United States, April 13, 2004.
For once, you just can't argue with the Shrub's logic. Well, you could argue that one can't hide what one doesn't have, but that's not my point today. What is my point?
Let's re-cap:
This week the Bush Administration argued before the Supreme Court that it doesn't have to reveal who Vice President Cheney met with or the nature of the deliberations that lead to the Veep's Energy Task Force recommendations.
In one of his last acts as Governor of Texas, George W. Bush attempted to transfer to his father's Presidential library, hence out of state control, his official papers. This was a blatant attempt to skirt Texas laws opening these papers up to public scrutiny.
Despite claiming otherwise, George W. Bush has still not released his complete Texas Air National Guard Service Record.
As one of his first acts upon pretending to assume the office of the President, George W. Bush issued an executive order extending the period during which Presidential papers could remain safe from public scrutiny. This would affect not only GW's papers, but those of his father (his earthly father), as well.
Bush resisted for weeks, until public pressure became too much to resist, having Condi the liar testify before the 9/11 commission.
Bush resisted for months, and lied about it, turning over Clinton Administration documents to the 9/11 commission.
Bush resisted for months, until public pressure became too much to bear, the creation of the 9/11 commission.
Bush resisted for months appearing before the commission, and only met with them today with his baby sitter and under the conditions that the session not be recorded, that there be no transcript, and that the commissioners not even be able to take notes.
I could go on, but you catch my drift.
With all of this hiding of the public's business going on, you have to wonder, what is Bush afraid of getting caught at?
