Re: The timing!
well I agree that phone conversation with "friend" where he talks about upcoming decision is not appropriate, but in the end we are believing in 'agencies' claim that he was talking to a friend about it. We all know that SC building was bugged, may be the agencies didn't want to reveal that info so cooked up a 'phone conversation'?
that is why I said 'if this is true'
if this is not true then its a moot point to begin with
