I think this Berger story was initiated as a preemptive leak - by Berger.

Note the first reporter of the story had easy quotes from Bergers lawyer.

Certainly they wouldn't want the story to come near the election. Also, the 9/11 report might mention Berger's malfeasance - if it does, surely this leak was pre-planned to get it out of the way for Bush bashing based on the Report.

Clinton's laughing about it. Funny, Kerry isn't laughing...

Exactly.

I think you make some very good points. Maybe Berger did leak it.
