I agree, it's an enormous story, or should be. The other thing that occurs to me is that Berger wouldn't have risked it, not only for something unimportant, but if he really felt that there would be any consequences to him if he got caught.
Basically, I think he knew in advance that even if he was found out, nothing was going to happen to him. Obviously, this would have been guaranteed by Clinton; but how did Clinton do it? Simply by relying on Bush's established habit of letting by-gones be by-gones and never holding Clinton responsible for anything? Or was there some other pressure?
And even better proof that Bubba had (has?) something on Berger. You know, "Do this for me,Sandy, or I might just have to..."
and his disgruntlement was her waiving the FBI file on the perp
Aha! That explains Burglar's constant "private phone calls" and bathroom visits every half hour while visiting the archives!
The report also delves into the records and finds that a French Rafael mobile anti aircraft missile launch system was found abandoned in Maryland under the approach landing lane to Dulles. How did it get there. The French don't know and no one in authority cares to address it, especially Bubba and company!
Enjoy!
I tend to agree. Maybe we should just apply Occam's razor to this.
I've mentioned this for years but the morning after when Bubba addressed the nation the look on his face was the most disfigured twist he EVER HAD. I knew then he was pertified and lieing.Wish that video would show up.It is as incriminating as the Ron Brown funeral tape
that razer here is way too dull...wrong target
I've seen all that, the part I'm asking for is steffy and hanoi john saying that 9-11 was like the terrorists shootdown of flight 800.
Google????
Would you consider this assertion to be "tin foil"?
The consequences to Berger of NOT destroying the information were obviously more detrimental than the punishment for destroying classified documents -
unless he knew ahead of time that he'd just get a wrist slap instead of the statute stated punishment.
I tried that after I first saw your post. I suspect that google would hide it if possible.
Let's review:
- We have some evidence that the Clinton Administration knew about Project Bojinka;
- We have two Clinton flunky lawyers appointed to the 9/11 Commission for no apparent reason, one of whom had a direct conflict of interest;
- We have Clinton flunky Sandy Berger risking prison time by intentionally stealing classified documents;
- We have Richard Clarke's non-Mea Culpa before the 9/11 Commission, in which he said such hilarious things as Sandy Berger was a great National Security Advisor, and where he tried to lay the blame for 9/11 on the first eight months of the Bush Administration;
- We have Sandy Berger leading the political charge against Curt Weldon, the one guy in Congress who wanted to know what happened to the Able Danger information.
Conclusion: the Clintons are covering their asses. And once again, the bad guys win.

Found this!!
MATTHEWS: What do you make of that case where they--where the passengers
heading west to Salt Lake City said they wouldn't get on a plane with these
guys? They turned out to be--I think they were Hindu--they weren't even Islamic
people.
Sen. KERRY: Well, it's sad but it's understandable. I mean, there obviously
is fear abroad in the land. We have to curb that fear. I think those of us in
Washington really have a responsibility here, Chris, to balance our rhetoric and
to balance the definitions of this war with the realities of what we face in the
country. You know, we've had terrorism for a long time now. We've had the
Achille Lauro, the Munich Olympics, the pipe bomb at the Olympics in Atlanta,
the TWA 800, the bombing of embassies, and it's not going to disappear
overnight. We've always been threatened by it. What's different here,
obviously, is the nature of these individuals and what they were willing to do
in order to hurt us here at home. We can, I think, most protect ourselves by
carrying on with our way of life, with a higher state of vigilance about what's
going on around us, but mostly by increasing the capacity of our country to
gather intelligence and to fight this at its source, to fight this in other
places before they get here and to do a much much better work of international
policing and of anti-terrorist effort by fighting it abroad.

Larry King Live September 11, 2001 KING: Senator Kerry did your -- did you committee on international opertions and terrorism ever actually fear something like this?
SEN. JOHN KERRY (R), MASSACHUSETTS: Absolutely. Absolutely. But let me join John and I know all my colleagues in just expressing -- I think all of us here in Washington are feeling in very personal ways the loss of what's happened here. I know that I had one friend I know of already on that plane from Boston, and I dread the learning of perhaps others. But for thousands of families tonight, there is just a huge loss, and I think in every American there's a sense -- there's a fury, an intense, burning fury about this and a determination to do what is right about it.
We have always known this could happen. We've warned about it. We've talked about it. I regret to say, as -- I served on the Intelligence Committee up until last year. I can remember after the bombings of the embassies, after TWA 800, we went through this flurry of activity, talking about it, but not really doing hard work of responding.
We need to do that now and I'm confident that the size of this, the nature of this loss and the nature of this attack are going to motivate everybody to come together to do that. And I think that's imperative. And we also, I think, Larry -- I was heartened by the president's comments tonight. We need to make certain that those countries that sponsor terrorism, that support it, that harbor these fugitive are as much a part of the problem as those who engage in the terrorist acts themselves. And we need to make certain as a country we respond to that. Boldly and bravely -- not recklessly -- but boldly.
Comment: Senator Kerry lumps TWA Flight 800 in with other admitted terrorist acts like the Embassy bombings, probably forgetting for the moment that Flight 800 was publicly supposed to be an accident.
Conclusion: the Clintons are covering their asses. And once again, the bad guys win.

Not like the good old days where the good cowboys wore white hats and always got the black hats.
I'm not sure about that .. Berger was a part of Kerry's campaign. That's tells me Berger was not on Hillary's favorites list.
Who knows .. Berger may have been trying to protect his own behind.
"The Administration knew that in 1996, surrogates from rogue states had access to MANPADS (Man Portable Air Defense Systems) or shoulder-fired missiles in mid-eastern weapons bazaars. $5,000 would acquire the least capable model, the Russian SA-7. $50,000 would buy the most capable, the Chinese Vanguard, a deadly new missile upgraded from US Stinger technology transferred to the Chinese in the early 90's. Superior to the Stinger, this missile has a much longer range. The Administration also knew Iran had a limited number of US Stinger missiles in inventory.
The Administration was aware that, worldwide, MANPADS missiles had already claimed 26 civil transport aircraft and was only a matter of time before a U.S. Flag carrier would be targeted and hit. They knew the Administration had dodged a bullet in 1994 when Maryland State Police found a fully armed French Mistral MANPADS missile ready to fire on its tripod directly under a busy northeastern air route.
Hmmmmm ping!
