Normally, I'd agree...

However, in this case an argument can be made.  Bush's intentions when 
signing laws does have an affect on security.  As does the current 
security condition of the electoral process.

If people can post about the status of government computer security and 
on legislation relating to security, then they can also comment on the 
motivations of those actions.

Just because you don't like it's content, doesn't negate the value of 
the message.

p.s. Security has been a primary issue during Bush's presidency.  I find 
it odd how people can claim that discussion of this administration's 
impact on security should be removed -- whichever way someone falls on 
the political spectrum.
