Yes, I do think it's rather odd that FBI files pertaining to John Kerry's anti-war activities were stolen from the home of writer Gerald Nicosia days after he discussed the files with reporters. Nicosia told CNN, "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." Could "plumbers" from the Bush campaign have done this? (But why would they need to steal information to which the White House has access?) Then there are freelance right-wing Kerry-haters, some of whom are a bit obsessed with Kerry's protest days and are flat-out desperate to link him to unsavory deeds by the more radical members of Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Nicosia also speculates that the culprit might be "a thrill-seeker who wanted a piece of history." Well, maybe....
