J. F. Kerry - FBI files stolen

Interesting story on CNN News -- Historian Gerald Nicosia spent about ten years collecting a Freedom of Information Act information from the FBI regarding it's investigation of John F. Kerry. Last Friday, a chunk of those documents were stolen from his house. He says: bq. "It was a very clean burglary. They didn't break any glass. They didn't take anything like cameras sitting by. It was a very professional job," Nicosia said. bq. "Was it a thrill-seeker who wanted a piece of history? It could be," Nicosia said. "You'd think there was a very strong political motivation for taking those files. The odds are in favor of that." And why might there be a political motivation? bq. Nicosia showed about 50 pages of the documents to CNN last week. Interesting - the guy shows the documents to CNN and then gets a sneak visit and looses a bunch of them. As I see it, the good news that the burglars were probably doing a rush job and just grabbed what they could get. The article says that Nicosea had not had time to review all of them. I bet he is going through the remaining 90% with a fine tooth comb. I'll be googling his name from time to time and reporting back on what I see... Posted by DaveH at March 28, 2004 11:11 PM
