apparently from my searches, bush also had an enemies list...one begun when he was gov. of texas.
It is totally illegal for the President to use the resources of the government (such as the CIA) to try to dig up dirt on his enemies. If it was proven that the Bush White House did this, they could get in a lot of trouble. It will never be proven because there was is only one guy that claims that it happened. The other people who were asked about it, deny it or claim they don't remember. I bet the allegations are probably true. When a guys says he "doesn't remember", it is a pretty safe bet to assume that the alleged incidents did in fact happen.

Even though none of us approve of this type of thing (not to mention that it is illegal), it's not a big surprise that this type of thing goes on and has been going on for a long time, even before Nixon.
