some of you might have forgotten being firestone's introduction. in case there is any confusion i want to make it clear i am not now, nor have i ever been a member of the bush administration. i thought you might a confused that. i am an historian at the university completing a book on the nixon administration, before the ipo they really long book on the cold war. for both those spent thousands of hours reading classified documents. in the documents has a lot of. seriously weird for wanting, and there are certain impressions that you get some of them are pretty obvious. one is that very often public officials say thinks to the public that are not true. actually, i have to say, sometimes i reading something in a document that is secret, and then i look at present nixon or secretary kissinger, and they come and say the exact opposite that they said one hour ago. i'm always amazed when this happens. sometimes, officials are not truthful, or they exaggerate, or deceive themselves, or they can be misled by advisers. from reading all these documents, the
