Where There's Smoke . . . (Part Deux)

I don't know if there is fire here. Maybe there is an innocent explanation behind the fact that the Clinton Library is not more forthcoming with its materials. I like thinking the best of people and I would love to be informed that such an innocent explanation actually exists.
But just in case there is no such explanation, will all of those who denounce "penchants for secrecy" bother to focus a lot of public attention on the degree to which the Clinton Library appears to be frustrating those who want to conduct scholarship regarding the history of the Clinton Administration? That's what a Presidential library is there for, after all--enabling research into the history of the particular Presidency in question. Libraries are not monuments to the glory of the Presidents for which they are named. If they are not serving any particular educational purpose--and thus far, the Clinton Library is certainly not serving that purpose--then what good are they?

I am simply astounded that we, as a nation that celebrates a free press, continue to allow this sort of sheganigans. The Sandy Berger hidden papers deal still sticks in my craw.

Are any of the Burgler documents held at the library?
