They weren't sure who would have been the source of the memos, since Rummy didn't lack for enemies all through the military and the WH. It was pointed out the memo was written one day before the mid-term elections, and he was gone one day after, and that this memo wasn't a suicide note, not what one would write KNOWING he was gone. I think the DOD possibilities are very limited. SECDEF to POTUS is not widely distributed, particularly when they are bullet points which suggests to me that Rummy wrote it himself. I also think that the leaked memo favors Rummy and hurts Bush. A possibility that I just suggested to my wife, was that Rummy sent the memo to Bush; Bush decided that Rummy wasn't loyal at the moment he read the memo [The story that Bush had been considering a change for several weeks was fabricated.] Bush fires Rummy. And someone very close to Rummy leaks the memo to show that Rummy was already thinking away from "stay the course". jttmab
