But who leaked it to the NYT? That is the real question.
I don't have to think more than a second to come up with "one of Hillary's goons".
However, I do know that sometimes information is given to the media with the caveat that it is "secret" and just allows the media to prepare a story for when the media can release the info. I'm more inclined to believe this may be what happened. The Brits/Bush were close to closing the investigation.
But .. in the NYT's lust for hurting Bush .. I don't doubt they would leak anything.
