What they mention of Bush Sr. is minimal to the point of being nonexistent. Kerry's questioning helped lead to Abrams' conviction, and where is he now? How about Poindexter? If Kerry has the information, I wouldn't be sanguine about his ability to do anything lasting with it, and given those past experiences I doubt he would be either. But I would also say the best time to release this information, if it exists, is right now.

Rand Beers came off very well on Nightline, and doubtless has information that is embarrassing to Bush regarding the relative security of the nation. But there is plenty of that information floating around, and it doesn't get a speck of coverage. Ditto for the Wilson probe. Like I said, I'm not sanguine about that information doing a whole lot even if it exists, and I would imagine Kerry wouldn't be either. If he's waiting until the media power of the presidency is his, fine, but until that time I'm glad he isn't dangling it out there to entice voters.
