But didn't the Clinton admin release just TONS of paperwork after it was obviously dead?

I can understand not releasing SOME information. I am reminded of the concept of "honest graft". If the policy requires that the government acquire some land that is currently worthless, making such a policy public would mean that people would grab said land and then turn a profit selling it to the government (eminent domain notwithstanding).

Hmmmm, but that tends to get back into the realm of what the advisors advise and whether their advice is "good" or "bad".

The simple solution to all cases would, in my opinion, be to release ALL of the records AFTER the policy is made public and implemented.

And when I say "after" I mean "right after". Within 12 months of the first step of that policy going into effect.

Again, if they're on the up and up, all that this will prove is that they're good people looking out for the country as best they can.

If they're not, well......that will be shown also.
