OK, so Rove should be off the hook, which I never thought he was hooked on in the first place.
I think somebody else said the timing is wrong for an anti-Bush story. Otherwise it would be coming out on Saturday night, in the Sunday paper, just in time for the Sunday talk shows, and not buried on a Friday.
Yes,but the Times did the same thing recently. It was in the heat of the Koran abuse business and they released a huge story on a Friday, three reporters, above the fold, about US soldiers abusing detainees at Baghram air base. They needed to help their comrades at Newsweek out.
The Democrats and media have decided they have to keep this story going at all costs, this will be part of that effort.
