#1 Six months from now? State of the Union address. Earliest Democrat primaries.

To influence the election, the report would have to be released between the conventions, or a couple of weeks after the final convention. Release it too early, and the Democrats might nominate someone who could viably run against the news. Release it too late, and the storm over the timing of the release will drown out the contents. Too near the convention, and it will never get reported.

#2 Why not just release the information so the public is informed and to hell with the politics? Wishful thinking, I know, but maybe just once someone could put the public above the politics.

#3 Perfectly reasonable for GWB to report on this at the State of the Union address in January. After all, the search for WMD is really important -- we know this because the Democrats told us so. And we sure wouldn't want to disappoint the Democrats, would we?

#6 This is great strategery. Not only will the evidence presented (if it exists) exonerate Bush admin and shame the naysayers...but it will also keep the naysayers from screaming "Bush Lied" in the interim, as they do not want to make their humiliation any worse, if and when the info is released.

Brilliant!
