"The source said the 9/11 commission was briefed on the Berger investigation, but the White House was never informed of the matter."

Very interesting. One FReeper suggests that the leak was by Berger himself - notice that his lawyer was talking with the first reporter of the story.

Theory - the 9/11 commission report was going to comment on Berger. That would have created a firestorm that would detract from the presumably anti-Bush aspects of the report. So Berger came out first, his story will die out under the attention of the other matters in the report.

Hmmm, I'm trying to extrapolate from the premise of this scenario--if that happened, did Gorelick tip Berger?
