But did he really do it? Well, he had a motive: As the paper and others have noted, Stevens and Coburn have clashed before -- in particular over Stevens' now-legendary "bridge to nowhere." Coburn attempted (and failed) to block the $233 million boondoggle. And revenge certainly fits the senior Alaskan's m.o. "Stevens can play rough," the Seattle Times noted in June. "Despite denials from his staff, he retaliates - and doesn't mind waiting years to do so."
Sen. Stevens admits he is the guy.
UPDATE: There is still one Senator who has not answered the question about the secret hold. This one a Democrat and would have been my second choice as the secret holder if Stevens hadn't admited to being the one. It's our old buddy Sen. Byrd of course.
