Sandy Berger “stole” the classified documents 9 months ago – What I’ve read of this story has conveniently left out the fact that it happened so long ago. But that seems to be a very common Bush administration tactic…hold on to good or bad news until the right moment, when it will cause the most impact, even if that moment isn’t until months or years later.
Aside
So do we focus on stolen documents or the timing? Which is more important?
The stolen documents are being handled by an internal, private Justice Department investigation. We worry about that when he has his day in court. Leaking this semi-secret, private information for political purposes, that’s a more immediate issue.
