Bush Finding New Ways to Rewrite History

According to this story in The New York Times, President Bush and the CIA have found a new way to rewrite history. They are reclassifying documents that have been part of the public domain for years. Historians who have already reviewed and copied many of the documents say that almost all are harmless and removing them from public view serves no purpose.

Well, of course it does if you want history to say things that make you (or your father) look good. Just ask President Bush...or for that matter, Sadam Hussein. They know just how to control what goes into the history books.
