Is that not the case?
The White House acknowledged that the documents released by the Pentagon were real.
These are NOT government documents.
That, I believe, is the case. However, the WH strategy may simply be to blow the whole thing off. If they dispute it, the story stays in the headlines. If they don't dispute it, the media has to come up with something else in order to keep the thing going.
I was just thinking that if a the democrats had a plant on the inside they could have easily have placed copies of these inside of Bush's folder to make sure they think they are real.
On the other hand why would Bush have in his hand copies of personal memos of somebody else?
