This is clearly Kerry's and the DNC's attempt at an October surpise story and the MSM are set to play it up big no matter what the facts are. It is equivalent to the 2000s DUI news dump within the last week before that election. DEMS keep with the same script. Have to hit the MSM hard to get them off their set plan toi aid Kerry this way. I am sure the news stories were written a few weeks ago and are set to run this week no matter what.
It keeps Bush on the denfense and attnetion off kerry's negatives even if in the end the story is finally show to be a non-starter. That is what the DEMS what the last week.
Of course if it opens up the fact that Syria got Saddam's WMDs and or their components, that is thin ice for the RATS and the UN.
The real October surprise for the American people is how the media is no longer showing any pretense of fairness.
