Why is the White House refusing to hand over NSA documents regarding Bolton, so that the Senate can confirm/deny him as UN Ambassador? 

Is it national security, or is someone’s ass being covered?

In tomorrow’s New York Times, an article will appear suggesting that the White House is holding the documents tight to the chest because they contain the names of individuals and companies who have violated export restriction bans on the shipment of dangerous weapons material to China, Libya, and even Iran.  The article is previewed here.

So which companies are Bush and Dick (Mr. Halliburton Doing Business with Saddam) Cheney trying to protect here, and how many of them are major Bush/Cheney campaign contributors?
