A MUST READ:

The Word doc trail
With the Alito memo--which was distributed on a not-for-attribution basis, with no authors named--the DNC was a little sloppy.

Mike Krempasky, a conservative blogger at RedState.org, mined the document's metadata and came up with juicy, code-cryptic tidbits like this:

{lcub}o:Author>prendergastc{lcub}/o:Author{rcub}

Or this:

{lcub}o:Company>DNC{lcub}/o:Company{rcub}

"The technical wizards at the Democratic National Committee never got the 'don't forward Word documents' memo," Krempasky wrote, eventually identifying "prendergastc" as Chris Prendergast and "adlerd," which also showed up in the metadata, as Devorah Adler--both members of the DNC.

The metadata also coughed up a file creation date of July 7, 2005, which the detectives at RedState.org identified as being "just after O'Connor resigned."
