If this is demonstrated as true...the Bush team is absolutely brilliant to let the accusations be churned by the MSM ever since it was reported by the NYT, because there's been so much discussion it can't be ignored by them going into the weekend. And following on the footsteps of Rathergate! Any clue what the topic of the Sunday talk shows will be? :-)
Maybe this is what the NYT editor meant when he said "The story wouldn't hold" until Sunday.
He knew that someone would leak this to the administration (or us) and they needed to get out in front of it in order to get as much damage as possible on Bush.
See what I mean?
Let's say 1 million people actually had their votes swayed by this now debunked scandal...
They probably hoped that they could keep 20% of that 1 million after the Pentagon cleared it up.
Make sense?

My money is on Halliburtion. You don't think they are going to focus on anything that may help Bush do you?
