[Law is not justice but process]

The question isn't whether Clinton will be harmed politically, but whether this will further erode the electorate's confidence in a Democrat to protect them from terrorists. That is an open question, but this will make it nearly impossible for the Democrats to criticize Bush for failing to prevent 9-11 (well, not impossible for them to try, just impossible for reasonable people to listen to them).

this will make it nearly impossible for the Democrats to criticize Bush

Oh, puhleeze. Don't make me laugh. It will make not a dent on the proclivity of Democrats to criticize Bush.

In addition, this will go nowhere. It will disappear in less than one news cycle. The public at large will never hear about it. Far more damning info than this has routinely disappeared into the ether.
