Presidential records belong to the public. Allowing former presidents -- and most incredibly, their relatives -- to seal records indefinitely is an affront to open government and a free and informed democracy. Congress needs to call the bluff of the anonymous senator who placed a procedural hold on legislation to challenge and overturn a 2001 executive order by President Bush. The president is trying to hide records from public scrutiny, and he goes so far as to say a president's heirs retain control over the papers of a deceased president. Baloney. So says the House of Representatives by a vote of 333-93. A similar, lopsided vote was a good bet in the Senate until a mystery lawmaker stopped everything cold.

The country continues to suffer from a fiscal deficit of $23.6 billion, an inflation rate of 13%, a massive debt burden, a growth rate of below 1.5%, an overvalued currency, high interest rates, and other barriers to trade and investment (USAID 2006). Implications Regarding Lord Acton's Assertion What we are left with, following these comparative case studies in regard to Lord Acton's assertion, is the following: (1) political power, if persuasive, is not necessarily corruptive; (2) partisan democracy tends to corru...
Al-Qaida's No. 2 bashes democracy in video CAIRO -- Al-Qaida's deputy leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, issued the terror network's first message since the upheaval began in Egypt, saying the country's rule has long "deviated from Islam" and criticizing democracy. The wave of popular protests that ousted Egypt's president, Hosni Mubarak, appeared to have caught al-Qaida off guard. The terror group had long called for the destruction of Mubarak's regime -- and al- Zawahri was part of a militant uprising in the 1990s that was crushed. He dismissed the claims by Mubarak's regime of democracy, and then dismissed democracy in general, saying it "means that sovereignty is to the desires of the majority, without committing to any quality, value or creed. A democratic state can only be secular, meanin...
