Interesting. The guy dies and all of a sudden he's issued a report card for all the Presidents of the last 50 years. I think Gerald Ford is the Tupac of Presidents.

So you're saying he's going to come out with this stuff for the next 10 years?

ford is just as evil (http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/12/27/1638254), and has enough blood on his hands as reagan (http://www.democracynow.org/static/flashback.shtml), the bushes, and johnson. i cut some slack for lbj, because at least he felt overwhelming guilt (http://z.about.com/d/history1900s/1/0/4/O/viet37.jpg) from the daily casualty lists, and it consumed him until his death.

I'm certainly not siding with his role on East Timor, but "evil" is the furthest thing from Ford, and he's on no playing field with Reagan or Bush.

Why did he not want stuff released until after his death. Did he not have the moxie to have reports and interviews made public while he was alive?

Seems a bit cowardly.

So courageous.

Makes him come off as a complete coward. He was President of the United States for crying out loud.

Carter may have been a bad President but at least he speaks his mind while he's alive.

I hate sugar coating political balony.
