The Resident: Bush Library won't release documents


President George W. Bush's library was dedicated in Texas this week. Though it houses over 70 million documents and over 200 million emails from his presidency, the chances of the public accessing this information remains slim. More likely, visitors will be relegated to the replica of his Oval Office, the bullhorn he used after 9/11. and other presidential tchotchkes.
