In my opinion, there will be an attempt to plant these files in someone's office, where they will be discovered by a "non=political" employee of the federal government, like Richard Clarke.

My choice for where the files will be planted? Karl Rove.

I agree they must have something like that up their sleeve--they've been setting up some kind of trap they haven't sprung yet, and what you say would fit the bill. Since Nicosia doesn't even have an inventory of what was supposedly "stolen", the Kerry camp could take a copy of any document in Kerry's FOIA files, plant it in someone's office, and have Nicosia claim, "That's one of the missing files!"
