UPDATED: Fire connected to evidence of crimes in the VP's offices?

The breaking news of the FIRE in the Eisenhower office and the news that the Vice President and his staff were involved in deliberations about destroying the CIA tapes are certainly related. *David Addington* who has been named as one involved in the discussions has an office adjacent to the fire, reportedly . . .

According to the New York Tmes article published this morning, the four lawyers involved in discussions with the C.I.A. on its interrogation videotapes: Harriet Miers, John Bellinger, Alberto Gonzales and David Addington. Initially, the White House indicated that they recommmended against destruction of the tapes, but now:

"In interviews, several administration and intelligence officials provided conflicting accounts as to whether anyone at the White House expressed support for the idea that the tapes should be destroyed. "

This was arson. I don't believe in coincidences.

Now the question becomes: "Did they set the fire to destroy more evidence or did they do it to distract the nation from the real "fire:" evidence of high crimes by the White House?
