News You Could Have Used a Year Ago

It turns out a Marine who had worked at the White House since 1999 (yes he started during the Clinton presidency) was caught spying for groups within the Philippines. That alone is a fairly big news story, but what is interesting is when he was caught:

"Last year, after leaving the Marines, Aragoncillo was caught by the FBI while he worked for the Bureau at an intelligence center at Fort Monmouth, N.J."

Now why wasn't this news a year ago? Hmmm, what could have been happening a year ago were a serious security leak would have been a really bad thing for President Bush? ...Oh yeah that's right he was running for re-election claiming that he was the only person we could trust with national security matters.
