"Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002

 White House Denies Delaying Release of Clinton Records
The White House is casting doubt on a recent claim by President Clinton that the release of historical records from his administration has been "slowed down" by aides to President Bush."The White House is not currently reviewing any Clinton presidential records because none are ripe for White House review," a spokesman for Mr. Bush, Trey Bohn, said yesterday. "All current requests for Clinton administration records are pending review by President Clinton's designated representative. The White House can take no action on any of the requests until the Clinton representative has completed its review of the records relevant to each request and reached a decision on either authorizing their release or withholding them."

"All current requests for Clinton administration records are pending review by President Clinton's designated representative. The White House can take no action on any of the requests until the Clinton representative has completed its review of the records relevant to each request and reached a decision on either authorizing their release or withholding them."At a press conference last month, Mr. Clinton complained that his efforts to make public the full history of his presidency were being frustrated by Mr. Bush's aides. "I'm basically pro-disclosure. I want to open my presidential records more rapidly than the law requires, and the current administration has slowed down the opening of my own records," he said.A longtime adviser to Mr. Clinton who serves as his representative for the records process, Bruce Lindsey, did not return a message left at his Little Rock, Ark., office yesterday. A spokesman at Mr. Clinton's Harlem office also did not respond to email and phone messages seeking comment on the White House statement.Officials at the National Archives said last week that archivists have finished work on more than 50 Freedom of Information Act requests for records at the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock but that the records were in a process where the former president and current president can review them for information that may be subject to executive privilege or other restrictions.About 26,000 pages of records are awaiting a response by Mr. Clinton's aides, according to the Associated Press.
