I think what the White House did was logical. Evil, immoral, against the law, yes. But logical.

I have ALWAYS wondered why companies or individuals who had terribly incriminating emails, tapes or paper records didn't just get rid of them. Surely the consequences of getting rid of the evidence can't ever be as bad as some of the stuff that comes up on these things (I'm thinking for instance of some of the stuff Elliott Spitzer has dug up that shows the contempt the brokerages had for the people buying the stocks they had underwritten). Surely the WORST fine for destruction of evidence isn't as bad as Time, Newsweek, the Times, the WP etc. publishing your filthy laundry.

1. Somewhere Tricky Dick Is Turning In His Grave.....
Wishing he had the chance to do it over again.

2. All government correspondence belongs to the people.
As much as Republicans would like to have us believe otherwise, the US of A is not a privately held corporation.
