laura, you're our legal analyst. >> they're being disingenuous when there's no precedent for this. other administrations, democratic and republican, trying to hold out information regarding foreign diplomacy involves, of course, with the bush the obama administrations with respect to guantanamo detainees, repatriation, et cetera. however, the courts have clearly said that the executive privileges used as a foundation is actually qualified. it's not absolute for the president of the united states to say because i'm there, because i'm the person having the communication that the privilege can never go away. the courts have been quite clear in the notion that it has to be balanced against the compelling interest of the president to have those candid confessions, naturally the compelling interest of other foreign administrations to say we can trust we're able to have candid conversations with you against what congress and the public's right to know is. there are ways that that fulcrum and balancing test weighs in favor of congress, given the things that both chris and fwlora have laid out about the notions of the president having these conversations, references for the nato of alliance, the decision not to have anyone else in
