White House refuses to cooperate with mandated information security inspections

i posted earlier on henry waxman's letter to andrew card seeking card's cooperation in testifying voluntarily before the oversight committee regarding a suspected "systemic failure" on the part of the white house to safeguard classified information...

emptywheel at the next hurrah took the extra step of actually READING waxman's letter and came up with this even more staggering bit of information...

this seems to me like it's getting more serious by the minute... waxman's letter cites numerous extremely troubling instances, so troubling, in fact, that i have to wonder not only what in holy hell is going on but also how in hell do they think they can get away with it... it's well worth reading in full...
