"There is every reason to prevent Bush from using executive privilege as his defense"

What is funny is that when Clinton was in office, the Republicans insisted on dragging staffers in for question and the waving of executive privilege for everything thing that happened to pop into their minds. Now, it is a sacred presidential right that can't be infringed unless it can be proven that Bush is taking money directly from sworn enemies. Even then, if Fox News or Limbaugh can make up an even implausible excuse, it shouldn't be done.

Talk about hypocrites.

Whether or not it has been abused, it seems to pretty clearly apply in this case. Bush can waive it, perhaps he can be pressured to waive it, but it can't simply be taken away.
