The question is not whether Bush is the worst, but will anyone remember? Especially after the Bush team has literally rewritten history?

Some National Archives Documents Removed By ELISABETH GOODRIDGE, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Intelligence officials will meet with the county's top archivist early next week to discuss the withdrawal of historical documents from the National Archives' public shelves, Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein said Friday.

He said he requested the meeting following disclosure last month of a program in which thousands of documents, previously declassified, were being removed from public access. Historians protested the practice, saying they had access to many of the documents in past years.

"The key here is not whether records are being classified or reclassified," Weinstein said. "It is whether or not it is appropriate to do so."

On Thursday, Weinstein called for the meeting "to ensure the proper balance of agency authority to restore classification controls where appropriate and the Archivist's obligation to ensure maximum access to archival records consistent with law, regulation and common sense."

He also called for the intelligence community to stop removing documents and to restore papers previously taken.

Citing the confidentiality of the matter, Weinstein could not confirm which agencies would participate.
