My tinfoil hat theory is that this was an intentional fake leak from Gonzales intended as a shot across the bow of Hastert. Can you guess why?
I, too, think it was disinformation.
But I think it was passed along to a suspected media leaker to uncover a rat in the justice department.
That, or the whole thing was faxed in from a Kinkos in Amarillo and ABC just went with it because, while admittedly fake, it was true.
