This shows a couple of things about Bolton that further underscore his vanity and irresponsibility when it comes to national security issues.Submit To Propeller
First, Bolton was NOT on a need-to-know basis in the Libya case. He had been removed from that portfolio.
Second, this shows that Bolton was in fact spying on his colleagues and their work. In this case, Bill Burns was his target.
