When the 18 and 1/2-minutes of Nixon-tape turned up missing, it was the beginning of the end for his presidency.

Update: The White House now claims it tried to stop the CIA from destroying evidence; before they claimed destroying the videos was just peachy. I could give you a dozen hot-links but Scott Horton has already collected them with a Sgt. Shultz reference to spare.  read more »
