Do they still tape conversations in the White House?

[MessiahRp]

I always find it interesting to listen to the Kennedy, LBJ and Nixon tapes... but I can just fucking imagine what it would be like in 20 years to hear the shit Bush said...

Although I don't doubt he had them stop that immediately considering all the laws this asshole broke daily.

1. Who do you mean? Israel?

3. Um, I clearly mean Bush and his boys...

I want to hear his conversations about Iraq and 9/11 and the wiretapping shit. Of course the American people will revere this bastard if we don't do something now and he makes it through his term but that would be some compelling evidence to discredit him later.

2. I can almost guarantee that

Cheney Rumsfeld and the rest of the Nixon holdovers who are in charge have taped every word that * has ever uttered in there whether he is aware of it or not. Just in case someday he starts to think he has any authority, y'know.

4. this is surely the ONE lesson the learned from nixon. DON'T TAPE ANYTHING

or at least, don't keep tapes around for long.

7. That was my first reaction too, BUT....

I find it unbelieveable that so many of them have used emails (which are MORE traceable than tapes) instead of just picking up the phone or face to face conversations!

I'm beginning to wonder if the new criminals in the WH are as clever and cunning as we thought!

9. Junior refuses to use email.

It's convenient (not) that his ignorance works in concert with his evasion of being held responsible.

5. Doubt it...Does anyone else remember he wouldn't be writing

emails or personal letters while in office? I seem to recall a report before his 2001 inauguration stating he wasn't going to be doing that with the justification that he didn't want them to get out (leaked). :shrug: Anyone else remember that???

6. tape conversations in the White House?

Why not? They appear to be taping them everywhere else... :sarcasm:

8. I think that was stopped after the Nixon fiasco

I might be wrong
