Documents on FBI's surveillance of Kerry stolen
Historian: 'Odds are in favor' of political motive in theft
Sunday, March 28, 2004 Posted: 0306 GMT (1106 HKT)


(CNN) -- FBI documents detailing government surveillance of John Kerry in the early 1970s have been stolen from the home of a historian in a suburb of San Francisco, California.

Gerald Nicosia, who spent more than a decade collecting the information, told CNN in a telephone interview that three of 14 boxes of documents plus a number of loose folders -- hundreds of pages -- were stolen Thursday afternoon.

"It was a very clean burglary. They didn't break any glass. They didn't take anything like cameras sitting by. It was a very professional job," Nicosia said.

"Was it a thrill-seeker who wanted a piece of history? It could be," Nicosia said. "You'd think there was a very strong political motivation for taking those files. The odds are in favor of that."

2. I wonder what kind of FBI surveillance was being conducted...
...on George W Bush at the time? Not much it seems as he was AWOL from the national guard, banging chicks left and right, racking up DWI's and snorting cocaine like it was going out of style. The CIA was probably keeping track of the punk for his daddy, GHW Bush Sr. and aren't there also missing files of Dubya for that period too?:eyes:

3. Yeah.
But they've been burned or cleaned out or thrown in the trash can long ago.
They must be pretty desperate for dirt to do this.
