GWB & Abramoff

Sounds like more evasiveness and secrecy. Using Cold War Laws for protection.

White House laying out new secrecy defense in effort to end court battle

Dec. 2, 2007

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration is laying out a new secrecy defense in an effort to end a court battle about the White House visits of now-imprisoned lobbyist Jack Abramoff.


The administration agreed last year to produce all responsive records about the visits "without redactions or claims of exemption," according to a court order.


But in a court filing Friday night, administration lawyers said that the Secret Service has identified a category of highly sensitive documents that might contain information sought in a lawsuit about Abramoff's trips to the White House.

....'Sensitive Security Records'
The Justice Department, citing a Cold War-era court ruling, declared that the contents of the "Sensitive Security Records" cannot be publicly revealed even though they could show whether Abramoff made more visits to the White House than those already acknowledged.


'I don't know him'

"I don't know him," Bush said at the presidential news conference in January 2006. "I've never sat down with him and had a discussion with the guy."


After Bush's comments, Abramoff wrote an e-mail to the national editor of Washingtonian magazine saying that Bush had seen him "in almost a dozen settings, and joked with me about a bunch of things, including details of my kids. Perhaps he has forgotten everything, who knows."

Time magazine reported that its reporters had been shown five photographs of Bush and Abramoff. Most of them, the magazine said, had "the formal look of photos taken at presidential receptions."

Perhaps Dubya doesn't know him

it doesn't surprise me that you're able to make this logical disconnect.

As it doesn't surprise us that you have such a left-bias and totally infected with BDS that you're not an impartial observer...

I don't see right nor left in this.

I see the administration, using Cold War laws to obstruct those seeking the truth.

Partisanship should not be a factor in one's perceptions. Partisanship blinds those who need to know, and should know, the truth.
