Adversarial

Josh Marshall points us to this quote from 9/11 commissioner Gorelick:

We can't afford to have documents that are relevant to our inquiry being withheld on a technicality. This is not litigation. This is finding facts to help the nation, and we should not treat this as if we're adversarial parties here.


It's this basic attitude which should shock and disgust us all. Why is the Bush administration acting like defendants in this?
