I must confess that I'm still trying to find out any solid details about Bernard Kerik's alleged nanny.

On Sunday, December 12th, the local paper, the Bergen Record, reported that Kerik spokeswoman Sunny Mindel told them that "the housekeeper worked in his Old Mill Road home in 2003 while Kerik was in Iraq training police in Baghdad."

The very same day, though, the Washington Post -- usually a reliable outfit -- reported that Kerik's lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, told them that "she worked for Kerik for about 18 months and had returned to Mexico six weeks ago, in keeping with a plan she had for several months."

But, yet again on the same day, the LA Times reported that the woman, "left the country about two weeks ago, under circumstances Kerik has not described."

Perhaps someone can help me straighten all this out?
