Well, we always know that the GOP was AL Qaeda's best friend.

A small private intelligence company that monitors Islamic
terrorist groups obtained a new Osama bin Laden video ahead of its
official release last month, and around 10 a.m. on Sept. 7, it
notified the Bush administration of its secret acquisition. It gave
two senior officials access on the condition that the officials not
reveal they had it until the al-Qaeda release. [...]
Around 10 a.m. on Sept. 7, Katz sent both Leiter and Fielding an
e-mail with a link to a private SITE Web page containing the video and
an English transcript. "Please understand the necessity for secrecy,"
Katz wrote in her e-mail. "We ask you not to distribute . . . [as] it
could harm our investigations."
By midafternoon, several television news networks reported
obtaining copies of the transcript. A copy posted around 3 p.m. on Fox
News's Web site referred to SITE and included page markers identical
to those used by the group. "This confirms that the U.S. government
was responsible for the leak of this document," Katz wrote in an
e-mail to Leiter at 5 p.m.
....
Al-Qaeda supporters, now alerted to the intrusion into their secret
network, put up new obstacles that PREVENTED SITE from gaining the
kind of access it had obtained in the past, according to Katz.
