"I wonder why these are being talked about now."

To create problems for Bush. The Dems leaked this, no doubt about it, to make Bush look like Dr. Strangelove, who was conveniently referenced in the article. Leaking classified information for partisan political purposes in an election year is criminal, and if I were Bush I would have the Justice Department investigate this until the culprits are found.
