Any time's the wrong time.
The spinmeisters at Big Media have turned the Sandy Berger scandal on its ear. The story is not about Berger taking classified documents out of the National Archives--a crime that would normally land someone in prison for ten years--the story is really about the timing of the supposed "leak." Slings and Arrows reminds us that no time is the right time for Democrats.
Does it really matter when or whether or who leaked it? The fact is that a criminal investigation of an advisor to John Kerry's campaign (and a person whose name was on the short list for Secretary of State in a Kerry administration) is in progress. It's good that the people know. When did they want this information to come out? What time would have been a good time for them? Or did they expect it to remain a secret forever?
