Commentary: Selective Release of White House Documents

By Daniel Schorr
Published June 22, 2004 at 9:00 PM PDT

NPR's Daniel Schorr, senior news analyst, says that the net effect of the selective release of documents relating to prisoner abuse is to maintain "presidential deniability" -- that is, to suggest that however punitive Attorney General John Ashcroft may be, President Bush viewed these issues in humane terms.
