Let me get my lib-thinking cap on good and tight:

Kerry's minions stole them, and will release them, and then blame the Republicans for the theft (a la Watergate) and smear campaign.

** taking hat off ** ow, that hurt!

Why would any republican steal these from an author? All they need to do, is obtain the files the same way the author did.....through the "freedom of information act"? No?

[ravingnutter]

I don't know why the Pubbies don't just make the request for the files to begin with...after all, they have been approved for release once already. They could have them well before the election (FOIA requests must be answered in 20 days).

BULL...Teresa has paid the guy to hand them over and then come up with the "theft story"...hell Teresa can buy anything...

Kerry's minions stole them, and will release them, and then blame the Republicans for the theft (a la Watergate) and smear campaign.

Right, except the Kerry people don't plan on releasing them.

The loudly reported "theft" is their insurance policy that will enable them to "turn the tables" on the Bush campaign when the info does become public.

Only the very stupid would believe that. Bush has no reason to steal them, he would just call Tenant up and ask for his copy. Most likely this guy got a copy of the files and lost them, probably on purpose.
