The Haunted Archives via Metafilter
The Bush White House Motto should read, "If there's no record, it's like it never existed."
Bush has asked for the resignation of the current National Archivist, a Clinton appointee, to step down. He's nominating Allen Weinstein, the former head of the Center For Democracy, a GOP thinktank, who's work as a historian has been critizied as being flawed... for being secretive.
The Society Of American Archivists has questioned this appointment, along with about 8 other organizations.
And the National Coalition For History also has posted some objections to this appointment.
Somehow, I think the full damage we're taking because of this administration may never be fully known.
