for example, in the twilight of the john paul years when the pope was using a cane, paolo gabriele was the guy who would carry the cane for the pope and hand it to him when he needed it. as such he's one of a very restricted number of people -- we're talking no more than a dozen -- who would have regular, direct, daily unfettered access to the papal apartments and to the pope himself. the answer to your question, would he have access to the documents? the answer to that question is probably yes. where the doubt enters in some people's minds given the fact that paolo gabriele is not a policy official it would have been unusual for anyone to see him in possession of these documents so the question is over such a long arc of time -- because this leak scandal really erupted in january -- could he realistically have been taking these documents in and out of the papal apartment back to his own residence to photocopy them without ever being observed? that has sown some doubt about ultimately how responsible he may be. >> warner: the substance of the documents, fairly briefly but is it fair to
