so i don't understand why this wasn't reported soon after the event itself. >> ambassador boldon, do you think there was something political in that? >> absolutely. i don't think there is any other explanation. you know, the original report was leaked by people in the administration, a pattern -- a disturbing pattern that we have seen for the past several years. and yet the official defense department spokesman, when he went on the record said, well you know, we don't normally talk about these things because they are classified. if it was classified before the election, it's classified after the election. if you don't want to comment on it, the standard formulation is, we don't comment on intelligence-related matters. yet, they department do that. it's a pattern of trying to have it both ways. keep classified what is detrimental to the administration and leak out what benefits it. >> coming up, we will have more with ambassador bolton and
