Poll question: Obama will open up Presidential records, what would you like him to unclassify first?
Obama has promised to undo change the Bush Administration has made about Presidential documents, what should he release first?

1. Start with the GHWB records that GWB sealed...
...so: Iran-Contra I guess.

6. Only one vote for Iran/Contra
and that was me. That will reveal the beginnings of the criminal take over.

13. BCCI - IranContra, Iraqgate, S&Ls, and CIA drugrunning were all key parts to BCCI.

Imagine this reality: This nation would be in its second decade of Full-on Fascism by now if Kerry hadn't started his investigations that uncovered IranContra and then ended up revealing SO MUCH MORE of the criminal agenda of the BFEE and their fascist cronies.

19. I believe that is when they set their anchors.
The drug running and gun sales set up the current day fascists. SOME OF THEM are still there!
So many people weren't around then. A list of names would surprise many people today.

18. You really believe there are any of those records left?
I am fairly certain the Whitehouse Shredders worked non stop for eight years...There will be very few records to divulge I am afraid.

2. Tough call - energy task force or Iraq war docs.
I'm going with Iraq war, though... once that can of worms is open, there can be others...

3. JFK
Edited on Thu Nov-06-08 11:51 AM by LSK
Now that would be a very loud and clear message that there is real change. He would show that he really is a different leader, one who dares to face the truth no matter what the consequences.

4. Actually...
I would have picked other as in any records that show we were misled on the assassinations of JFK, MLK and RFK but being able to prove the Energy companies were given inordinate access to the wheels of power and putting them in their place would be a good start.

5. Energy Task Force docs will probably implicate the most Republican Senators.

10. The Plame documents,
exposing the true role in the outing of a classified CIA operative would be my hope.

11. Energy task force documents...
because they will show that the Booshies had already carved up Iraq and intended to go in even before 9/11.

So, in a sense, this would be the first proof of the real reason Iraq was invaded, i.e. the truth behind the invasion.

Oh, and as mentioned above, it will implicate MANY still in power!!

15. Other: "EVIDENCE" ... let the prosecutions begin!
Unless and until criminality and corruption are prosecuted, we remain a nation of cowards and outlaws.

22. I voted for Cheney's Secret Oil Orgy.
After all, that's where the plot to invade Iraq started.
