If the Republicans don't have FBI documents on Bill and Hill at the ready, they aren't fit for this fight. No Marquise of Queensbury rules in this one. This will be a fight to the death with no holds barred. Looking at the squishy pols in DC, I'm not encouraged. Not enough with guts.

Can you imagine coming to a fight with Orrin Hatch, Bob Dole, and Olympia Snowe on your side?

What do you get when you mix a Maine lobster on viagra with the tabernacle choir? an easily killed Rino.

I don't think (legal problems aside) leaking this sort of material is a pissing match Republicans want to get into - for example the Bush administration is at loggerheads with much of the CIA, and the CIA presumably has lots of documentation of the decades long business relationship between the Bush family and the Saudis, including some members of the Bin Laden family. Making this a matter of wide public discussion would be a godsend to the Democrats.

Please note that I'm not parroting left-wing conspiracy theories here, or singling out the Bush family's business relationships – though of course the press and the Democrats would be happy to do so. This is a generic problem for anyone doing business with the Saudis; theirs is a pretty unsavory political and social arrangement, and if you do business wth them it's likely you are becoming involved with people who's behavior won’t easily withstand scrutiny by Western sensibilities. So this has the potential to turn very ugly as an election issue.
