"TheAmerican people should demand that their President teU the truth." - Dan Quayle, October 13, 1992
I couldn~t agree more. It took a while but we fmany uncovered something that Dan Quayle saidTuesday night that rings ofthetruth. His boss, George Bush,should tell the truth. Mr. Quayle added: "You cannot lead this great country of ours by misleading the people." Right again. Soin the interest ofuncovering the truth andsetting the record straight before theAmerican people vote, here are a few topiCS and questions that George Bush ought to tell the truth about.
#1. "Stategate": Who Asked for Wbat? Wednesday's Washington Post reveals that, in a last-ditch attempt to smear Bill Clinton's character, the Bush Administration has been acting like the Nixon Administration. The Post reports that a Bush Administra tion political appointee directed the U.S. embassies in London and Oslo to search their files on Bill Clinton. ThePostcharacterized the requests,by AssistantSecretary ofState for Consular Affairs Elizabeth Tamposi, as "unusual," and said that they received "extraordinarily high-level attention." Passport files are - as the State Department's own director of its Freedom of Information Office, Frank Machak maintains - "covered by the Privacy Act." (Washington Post, 10/14/92) 1: "'clAdered ." ~ vJOl.S The State Department, in a policy statement sent to the National d..\~, Security Archive in Washington D.C., notes that FOI requests are expedited only in "truly exceptional circumstances."
