I could have just made this up, but I seem to remember either from the novel or the radio drama that she knew she wouldn't make it all the way to Alderaan with that Star destroyer on her tail so she takes a quick detour to Tatooine (which en route, apparently) where she knows she has a friend in Obi-Wan.

Like I said... could have just made all that up!

Ah! So she goes to Tatooine specifically to pass the DS plans on to Ben because she knows she won't be able to get them to Alderaan herself?

But then why would she refer to a "mission to bring (Ben) to Alderaan" in her hologram?
