Bush refuses to release Miers docs
He is really not screwing around. Despite the fact that both Republicans and Democrats have asked the White House for documents pertaining to Miers, Bush out and out refuses to hand them over.
"It's a red line I'm not willing to cross," Mr. Bush said. His flat refusal raised the stakes for Ms. Miers's Senate confirmation hearings, set to begin two weeks from now, as the president seemed to acknowledge.
"People can learn about Harriet Miers through hearings, but we are not going to destroy this business about people being able to watch - walk into the Oval Office and say: 'Mr. President, here's my advice to you. Here's what I think is important.'

Um, ok. But I don’t think that’s really going to fly. Americans want to know who Miers is, and they deserve all the information available.
