Stonewall: The Pressure Increases

[Republican] Lawmakers Urge Bush to Make Abramoff Information Public - New York Times

Chuck Hagel - NE
John Thune - SD, Scumbag
Mike Pence - IN

Bush's reason for completely terminating transparency in government?

"If people give me advice and they're forced to disclose that advice, it means the next time an issue comes up, I might not be able to get unvarnished advice from my advisers, and that's just the way it works," he said.

Well, that's sure a good enough reason. If Jack Abramoff was forced to divulge the advice he gave Bush, then felons everwhere might feel pressured to not be completley straightforward with Bush.
