Since they couldn't find any other potential source, they decided it *must* have come from the White House and not their own systems. They then put out an announcement to this effect, which was received with much joy by talk-show hosts. Neither AP nor the White House found anybody else who had the same problem, leading one to guess that the organization was wrong. The way the one disk became all of them is a topic better discussed in the alt.folklore hierarchy. Jon
