The 9/11 Commission has already said they saw everything, and the idea that he needed drafts of that particular document to give anything to the Kerry people is a little silly. Rand Beers was another of the authors, and he's working for the Kerry campaign. Plus, Kerry gets to see stuff of that sort as a senator. So agree on both counts.

The pertinent thing to me is that he took multiple drafts of the same document, likely to see what changed from version to version. I'd guess that would be helpful to prep for the 9/11 commission, and also to see whether he fucked up or not (e.g., something he knew about got stripped out of the final draft).

That's exactly the reason Breuer gave -- that he was trying to refresh his recollection about what happened in the deliberations about that document so that he could testify to the commission. But it hardly means he needs to walk out with the document.
