answer:Well, have you seen what happened with the Nixon tapes, the Johnson tapes, and the Truman tapes? Have you seen every President prosecuted for something? Reagan for Iran-Contra; Clinton for unzipping his pants in the wrong place; and god knows what the current President will get caught doing. We know already that he’s done a lot of things many people consider immoral, even if they are not illegal. He’s expanded presidential power enormously. He’s changed the definition of torture so the administration could torture people. If you had committed a crime, wouldn’t you want to hide the evidence? The last thing on your mind would be learning and understanding. I wish the records could be preserved because I do think much important information will be lost, and this will cause our nation to make the same mistakes more than we otherwise would have. I think security concerns are overly hyped, and that the real concern is saving face and trying to preserve an image. They classify everything, reflexively, just to make sure they don’t miss anything embarrassing. It’s ridiculous, hurtful to the country, and it ought to stop.
