DEAR KARL ROVE, "SECRECY IS FOR LOSERS" - John Dean

scott,

Here's the text to the letter that Dean sent to Rove. I fully expect that Rove is taking the attitude of most of Bush's intimate entourage of charlatans and swindlers. His hubris will prevent him from accepting the advice.

historynewsnetwork.org

SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS:

"The President (Nixon) was explaining why he had no problem with his chief of staff turning the FBI loose on newsman Dan Schorr, trying to shake up Schorr a bit: Schorr was writing tough stories about Nixon.

When the unshakable Schorr learned that he was being investigated, and wanted to know why, he was simply lied to..."

"""""""""""""""""""""""""
Dean: "I was taken aback, however, to read your (Rove's)response to what might be learned from the Nixon presidency.

Rove: "Is there something specific that we've drawn from Nixon? I'm not aware,"

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Dean: "It's unimaginable that the Bush Administration would want to risk repeating the mistakes of the Nixon presidency, yet the continuing insistence on secrecy by your White House is startlingly Nixonian. "

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Dean: "You might want to take a look at his recent book, entitled Secrecy. Senator Moynihan sums it up nicely: "secrecy is for losers."
