Given how the Bush administration has fought to block any discovery
of e-mails over the course of the pat 7 years, shrouded other
discovery behind "national secrets" protections, and provided a
myriad of half-truths, questionable rationalities, and out-right
lies on a number of other associated issues (e.g. "The office
of the Vice President is not subject to the same rules that
govern the executive branch...", etc.), I find it very, very
hard to accept any excuses they provide at face value.
