Your url didn't work for me, Double. But I don't find it odd that the White House was able to produce letters from Willey, because they knew about the 60 Minutes interview for some time. Yes, they do drag their feet in producing documents when it serves their purposes, however.

The ONLY defense the White House has in regard to this woman is that she still wanted to participate in Democratic politics after the incident in the Oval Office. They cannot say she was a right wing plant, a bimbo, a sex fiend, a nut or a floozy, or that she wanted money. I personally think she pretty much compartmentalized the incident--she was planning to take it to her grave, she said. She still was a liberal Democrat, knew not to get THAT close to Clinton again, but was a new widow and for survival reasons, much like Anita Hill, stayed close to the administration. She certainly did not feel like she had done anything wrong.

From the Post article you cite:

She [Willey] asked for an ambassadorship but didn't get it.

Good God! Never mind veracity. This casts serious doubt on the woman's sanity.

True (and regrettable), not all ambassadors are qualified. But those who aren't are normally either famous or have done a great deal for the party of the current president.
