Onyx, after I posted that, I read the most recent posts and learned that the document theft may have occurred around last October. Kerry's campaign wasn't doing too good then. Too many "ifs" at the moment, but if I were a reporter snooping into this thing, I'd sure want to dig into Berger's connections to Dem presidential wannabes. I'd want to correlate who used what info to what the stolen documents are about, and when it was used. Might make for an interesting bit of research.
