Nothing to hide?

By Libby

The new online database that tracks government spending, usaspending.gov, is already yielding interesting results. Radar pulls up some telling expenditures along with a handy chart.

Federal spending on paper shredding has increased more than 600 percent since George W. Bush took office. ... In 2000, the feds spent $452,807 to make unpleasant truths go away; by 2006, the "Cheney Effect" had bumped that number up to $2.9 million. And by halfway through 2007, the feds almost matched that number, with $2.7 million and counting.

I wonder if the White House gave Fawn Hall her old job back when they recycled the rest of the old Iran-Contra thugs?
