Damn right they should. Remember Sandy Ber(gl)er? Stuffed the documents right down his pants. In government everyone gets one free sleep at the switch. BJ’s law license was suspended for 5 years. As if that was real punishment.
For those who may need a refresher:
Martha Stewart went to jail for lying to federal investigators. But for lying after stealing highly classified documents from the National Archives — in an apparent attempt to alter the historical record on terrorism, no less — former Clinton national security adviser and Kerry campaign adviser Sandy Berger will get a small fine and slap on the wrist. He will pay $10,000 and get no jail time. His security clearance will be suspended until around the end of the Bush administration — meaningless for a career Democrat like Mr. Berger. It makes us wonder who at the Department of Justice is responsible for letting such a serious offense go virtually unpunished.
