I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE POLLSTERS WOULD HAVE THE BALLS TO TRY THAT KIND OF SURVEY BEFORE....

just kidding. I think Pan got into my head a little there.

Personally, I think that 12 years is too soon to release these kinds of records, if for no other reason that they can still impact careers. That said, "forever" is a very long time and doesn't seem appropriate either. Were it up to me, I would say 20 years is a nice round number, and would give that junior guy at the State Department a chance to run for Senate and then go down in a corruption scandal involving an underage prostitute, a golf cart battery, 7 1/2 gallons of jello and the latest issue of "Redbook".
