The only reason Obama would be opposed to releasing anything like this is easy. It's damaging to the Democratic Party. There's something in there that clearly would hurt his cause. He hates Bush and Cheney. It would benefit him to hurt them. Another DNC smoke screen that could be cleared. Plame wasn't a spy and it was all a book deal smoke screen.

"He hates Bush and Cheney. It would benefit him to hurt them............" Another moronic post by bb...Question,did Obama e-mail you telling you personally of his hate towards bushboy and cheney ? Got something to back it up...a link possibly ? How would it benefit Obama to hurt them ? Just because the right is so hate filled you assume that everyone operates on that principle ? bush and cheney have done enough to hurt themselves and the repug party..Obama and the rest of us see it...now we will leave it up to the courts and congress to see whatever else come from any of this...
