The article that previously appeared under this URL has been removed
from our database because a followup investigation revealed the sources
quoted in the article did not, as they claimed, attend a White House
meeting between President George W. Bush where we reported he called
the Constitution a "god damned pieced of paper."
Although we
believe President Bush has a history of flagrant disregard for the
protections and liberties outlined in the Constitution, we cannot
confirm that he made the statement and retract the article.
