Remember when GWB prevented the release of Reagan's presidential papers?

Well I found the following:

Washington DC, October 1, 2007 - A District Court in the District of Columbia has ruled that an Executive Order issued by President George W. Bush in 2001, which severely slowed or prevented the release of historic presidential papers is, in part, invalid. In a carefully constructed decision, the court held that the Archivist of the United States acts arbitrarily, capriciously, and contrary to law by relying on the Executive Order to delay release of the records of former presidents. The court did not reach the issue of whether it was permissible for President Bush to extend the authority over disclosure of presidential papers to a former president’s heirs or to former vice presidents.

The underlying lawsuit, which was filed in November 2001 by the National Security Archive and other plaintiffs, challenges President Bush's Executive Order 13,233 that gave former Presidents and their heirs (as well as former Vice-Presidents for the first time) indefinite authority to hold up release of White House records. In finding that the plaintiffs have standing to pursue the claim, the court specifically referenced the delays experienced by the National Security Archive for requests pending at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. As the Archive’s Director Thomas Blanton testified in Congress this past March, those delays have grown from 18 months in 2001 to “an estimate of 78 months (six and a half years!) .”

Archive General Counsel Meredith Fuchs commented, “The court is enforcing procedural standards, but has avoided the hard questions about the role former presidents, former vice presidents, and their heirs can play when it comes to disclosure of presidential records.” She noted, “Unless the Executive Order is reversed or withdrawn, decisions about the release of records from this administration may ultimately be made by the Bush daughters.”

The decision comes at a time when a bill that would overturn Executive Order 13,233 is stalled in the U.S. Senate, reportedly due to a hold placed on the measure by Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY). The bill, H.R. 1255, was approved in the U.S. House of Representatives on March 14, 2007 by a vote of 333-93. The White House has threatened to veto the bill if it is passed in the Senate.

So I am wondering if those papers were ever fully released or is this dictatorial BS still going on that makes me think that Reagan may have had babies killed and cooked for the enjoyment of himself and other republicans in the WH during clandestine dinners to celebrate their hatred for liberty and justice?

Does anyone have the answer?

and congress backed off? But hard to remember, so much weird shit happens anymore

the Iran Contra business as well as other nefarious dealings while Reagan was non compus mentis(sp?) and Bush Sr. was running the show.

Chimpy was covering Poppy's ass. Not to mention the fact that Poppy's papers probably would have documented the fact that Reagan was nothing more than an absent minded puppet, and that Poppy was really President for 12 years. :puke:

It probably incriminated Poppy.

actions, Reagan was likely kept in the dark for the most part.

And when Reagan was shot, the shooter's brother was good friends with Neil Bush. Almost impossible coincidence. Reagan may not be liked here, but at least we can say he was a true believer in his causes, dating back to firey anti-government speeches in the 50's. The CIA and Shadow Government, with Bush likely at its head, didn't like this. He was never the same after the shooting.

and how US pushed Saddam to attack Iran.

Imagine if they did not exist.
