Smileyy -- haven't you been paying attention? At a time of war the President is entitled -- indeed, obligated -- to flout any laws that need flouting. Presumably, that would include the RFK law.
And it's vital for national security that the White House remain in Bush family hands, because otherwise the documentation of all that embarrassing (criminal?) behavior by Poppy and now Junior and Co. would leak out.
Don't forget -- Bush's first official act as President was to seal Reagan's presidential papers, flouting the law even then, before he had the "war" excuse but was protected by one of Gonzales's convoluted memos. Whyever would he do that?
