Months?  It was under consideration mere *years* before 
9/11.  Former national security advisor Sandy Berger went 
into the national archives, rounded up as many copies 
of the incriminating documents as he could find, accidentally 
stuffed them down his pants and socks, took them home 
and inadvertently cut them into tiny pieces (snip whoops, 
snip oops, snip whoopsy, snip uhoh...)  Then he lied 
about it consistently for months.  He plea bargained
and ended up getting off with a slap on the wrist.   

These government guys wonder why we don't trust them 
and want smaller government.
