Didn't Bill Clinton order the bombing of that aspirin factory in Africa just as a big story was about to break?But of course he would NEVER have done that to divert attention from his own problems. I love it how the Democrats whine when their own tactics are used against them.

However, DougR, I agree that they should have waited. After all, doing it now gives the Dems the chance to scream "dirty politics" whereas a wait of a few days might have deprived them of that defense.

I suppose that it's even possible that Clinton, Reno, et.al. could have planned to release it now so they could use the dirty politics defense. After all, it was going to come out sometime and the spin-meisters may have decided that now would ultimately do the LEAST amount of damage.
