Just in time to make the major news organizations “hot” sheets for tomorow… the weekend before the DNC takes over Boston.

Timing is everything, and both sides play the game.

The Pentagon had said that the payroll records for that time period had been inadvertently destroyed.

“Previous attempts to locate the missing records at the Federal Records Center had been unsuccessful due to the incorrect records accession numbers provided,” the Pentagon’s Office of Freedom of Information chief C.Y. Talbott said in a letter Friday to The Associated Press.

“The correct numbers were obtained … and the records were found.”

Talbott wrote that the Defense Department “regrets this inadvertent oversight during the initial search and the delay it caused in your receipt of these materials.”

On the other hand, how easy it is to significantly delay the inevitable with a simple clerical error.
