They must have signed a contract saying that they could not release the originals of their work without bush's permission because this is what congress would need to look at to determine how Bush falsified scientific research in his favor.

As the Wonk Room’s Brad Johnson reports, President Bush today exerted executive privilege to block the House Oversight Committee’s subpoenas for EPA documents on global warming, heading off a scheduled contempt vote for EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson and White House Office of Management and Budget regulatory administrator Susan Dudley.

I would hope and expect this administration would not be making this assertion without a valid basis for it, but to date I have not seen a valid instance of their executive privilege.
