They can't pin this against Bush.

Sneaking out info that is still being put together would not benefit the administration.

And The Bush Admin. should point that out.

It would hurt them.....

So maybe this guy is a dem...

Perhaps this is Rockerfeller playing the card after all:

Pentagon challenges Rockefeller on Feith hit

-excerpt:

In November, an internal memo from Mr. Rockefeller's staff leaked to conservative radio host Sean Hannity. It detailed a strategy whereby committee Democrats would cooperate with Republicans to produce a report as critical as possible of the Bush administration. Once the report came out, the strategy paper said, Democrats would then push for more investigations no matter what the first investigation said.

"The fact that the chairman supports our investigations ... is helpful and potentially crucial," the memo said.

Once Democrats have "exhausted the opportunity to usefully collaborate with the majority," the memo says, "we can pull the trigger on an independent investigation of the administration's use of intelligence at any time — but we can only do so once."

"The best time to do so will probably be next year," when Mr. Bush would be campaigning for re-election, the Democratic memo said.
