The National Archives is withholding from the public about 2,600 pages of records at President Clinton's direction, despite a public assurance by one of his top aides last month that Mr. Clinton "has not blocked the release of a single document."

The 2,600 pages, stored at Mr. Clinton's library in Arkansas, were deemed to contain "confidential advice" and, therefore, "closed" under the Presidential Records Act, an Archives spokeswoman, Susan Cooper, told The New York Sun yesterday.

Yeah, 2600 pages, vs. millions of pages that the first and second Bush administrations have locked away from citizens' eyes until they are both deceased.

This is a non-story, but as usual HuffPo makes a mountain out of a molehill when it comes to the Clintons.

"The National Archives is withholding from the public about 2,600 pages of records at President Clinton's direction..."

WHY DOES THIS NOT SURPRISE ME?!

To Hillary and Bill history is what they say it is, not what the facts show.

By the way, take a look at Hillary's TV Christmas ad where she underscores her basic philosophy that she is the one who is handing out benefits (Christmas gifts) to the little people and controls what and how much they get. Someone should tell her that this is our country, that we pay the taxes and that it is our money that pays for the various governmental programs - none of this is hers, nor is she entitled to make decisions about it and hopefully never will be. We have had enough of one dictator already.

Hussein Obama has sent a few of his sheeple to the Obamington Post today to cheer Hussein on.

Let us pay attention to the fact that this story came from the NY SUN.
Despite their speculation, we have no way of knowing which records they are. The C-Span program on the Clinton archives revealed that the Clinton Library (like all others) has only six archivists and that most of the documents have not even been looked at yet. The amount of work required before a document even reaches the stage of being considered for release appears to be monumental.
Oh and by the way, any news about Sen Obama's papers from Illinois? Or the logs, papers, etc of any of the other candidates? Or doesn't anyone care?

oh get a life....the law says clinton has 12 years to release those records, and if he wants to use all 12 years than he should...he isn't breaking any laws. why should the media and especially this website have more garbage to criticize hillary with, garbage that has nothing to do with the election. i don't think there are two other people in this country who have been investigated more than the clintons....enough is enough.

It just never ends.

Let's "roll the dice" with someone else.

The Clintons just can not tell the truth about small things.
