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."

"Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans. Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others. Ours is a country based upon tolerance and we welcome people of all faiths in America."
