Newsweek this week writes about Howard Dean's secret gubernatorial records in Vermont, and efforts Dean took to keep them secret. According to Newsweek's pre-issue news release:

Late last year, Newsweek has learned, Dean's chief counsel sent a directive to all state agencies ordering them to cull their files and remove all correspondence that bore Dean's name -- and ship them to the governor's office to be reviewed for "privilege" claims. This removed a "significant number of records" from state files, said Michael McShane, an assistant Vermont attorney general.

It's Vermont. Any potential records from his term there would likely be a lot less damaging than the nagging story about the effort taken to shush them.
