Reply #11: BushCo didn't take Berger down,

[hughee99]

it sounds like he F'd up on his own. Rove may have leaked this (which is his M.O.) but based on Berger's comments, Rove can't take credit for this. If Kerry had known about this months ago, he DEFINATELY should have taken action back then. Certainly once he won the nomination, Berger should have been quietly let go. Then the story probably would have read "Former Clinton NSA Sandy Berger..." and kept Kerry's name out of the whole damn thing. As far as the leak goes, it was probably better now than after the convention, so it's possible it was leaked preemptively by someone else to take the issue off the table come election season.
