Set aside Republican speculation that former Clinton national security adviser Samuel "Sandy" Berger was trying to hide classified information from the Sept. 11 commission or that he had provided the material to the Kerry campaign. Do likewise with Democratic suspicions that the FBI's investigation of Berger was leaked to distract attention from the commission's report. Those concerns, all unproven, are partisan and secondary. Keep the focus where it belongs. Did Sandy Berger violate the rules regarding the protection of classified information entrusted to him, and if he did, will he be held accountable for his actions?

ugh - I will never register that weasel site. No article for me. The "fair use" censors win another one.
And no, I'm not wasting 50 cents on them tomorrow.
If proved, Kerry is an accomplice.

They are the Enemy Within!!!!
Some other paper will publish it, and you will be able to read it here.
I have no hope that democrats that are Friends of Bill will be held legally accountable for breaking the law.
Ken Starr and others packed off 13 or so to jail until the media war against the law took place in 1998, culmunating in an historic GOP loss in the House.
Republicans, even in power, have since been unwilling to face the wrath of the media friends of the lawless.
I have NEVER liked Martha Stewart, but why pack her off to jail for lying to federal officials when Clinton did the same thing and got away with it? What a raw deal.
Nothing will happen except the media, getting emailed the DNC talking points, will regurgitate them as if they thought of them.
I'd love to eat those words if he were prosocuted properly for lawbreaking.
IIRC, Colbert King is a bigtime lefty. Despite that, this column is excellent, and really nails the whole thing. I especially liked how he referred to the Dem's characterization of Berger as acting like he's Mr. Magoo!
Which may be the reason, nine months after the Berglery, that this is still an "ongoing investigation".
bttt
bump
Yes, he is. I don't know what is more shocking, that Mr. King wrote it, or that the WaPo printed it. :)
Perhaps they printed it because, assuming it was from a lefty, they didn't have to screen it.

Do you mean that kerry either wins the presidency or he might go to prison. Something to think about.
I look forward to holding you to it! ;)
I think most freepers that suffered through the Clinton years, and the multitude of unpunished crimes perpetrated by them, understand your skepticism......I just have a feeling that the "untouchable" veneer is wearing VERY thin. We shall see.
GOOD MORNING,
the reality is the leftist rags print this kind of article for saturdays,when the usual customer won't read it.
GODSPEED!
I meant that the case against Berger seems to be a slam dunk, but building a collusion case against the presumptive democrat presidential nominee, or his campaign, would take more time.
"I think most freepers that suffered through the Clinton years, and the multitude of unpunished crimes perpetrated by them, understand your skepticism......I just have a feeling that the "untouchable" veneer is wearing VERY thin. We shall see."
So far, Berger burgled and the media attack our President over it, citing "timing", etc. as if it were some dark conspiracy to enforce "rigid rules" on a "well meaning" "servant of the people"...yeah, that is what the next bunch of hokum will be. The morally upright, law abiding, law enforcement is hammered relentlessly by the socialist media whose megaphone dwarfs the tiny voices of reason. All of cable news is a tiny sliver of the ABC,NBC,CBS &PBS cabal.
No need to read the rest.
On the face of it, and by his own admission, Bergler violated several statutes of the U.S. Code regarding classified information.
Doesn;t matter whether it was a mistake or not.
The dems leaked it, and the media bash our President over it Say it ain't so.
Lanny Davis admitted years ago he did just this sort of trick time and again.
The same complicit media quoting the DNC about "timing" knows it was the demos who dropped the dime on the whole thing.
what an upside down world now, where the morally upright are vilified and the immoral are glorified.
