Why was the predator video leaked a few days ago? Does anyone else believe that it was released -then- so that it wouldn't need to be dropped like a bomb on the public in the dramatic setting of these hearings?

The Democrats couldn't lie about it because the video could be leaked or declassified afterward and that would have been major damage to them.

The left also gets the benefit of making it look like it was leaked by Republicans.

You're right. The timing of the tape AND Clarke's "Bible" are intimately connected.

The latest trestimony is that there was a "Prince" on the site with Usama and that's why they didn't take him down. But that appears to be NEW information and conflicts with all the other reasons that have been given.
