I find it ironic, hell, I find wildly hypocritical, that the same people who constantly whine about wanting "open government" suddenly consider it a high crime for the President of the United States, of all people, to decide to release information that was his to classify or declassify in the first place.

As noted in the past, it seems that the actual standard that the MEM's of the board want is that information that is potentially embarrasing to Bush should be public, whilr the rest should be classified.

Furthermore, I find it equally ironic that the MEMs of the board think that this debate should be so damn one-sided. They want the Joe Wilsons to be able to say whatever they want without challenge, but as soon as the Bush team tries to point out flaws in Wilson's case, or potential conflicts of interest he might have, then suddenly they don't want debate. Instead, they cry "foul" and "character assasination."
