It's funny, really, that the employees immediately knew Sandy Berger was the document thief. Seems to me the stickyfingered Sandy was doing the Clintons' bidding - express or implied - in swiping the damning documents.
Manhattan Federal Judge Robert Sweet's decision - made public yesterday - prohibits blanket searches of bulky bags and backpacks in the absence of a "specific threat."
"In this day and age of terrorism, it's an extremely dangerous step in a very dangerous time in New York City," said an outraged Michael Palladino, president of the Detectives Endowment Association.
"It's giving an open door to terrorists, and further handcuffing police at a time that they should be given a little bit more latitude," Palladino said. He said he plans to urge Mayor Bloomberg to appeal the ruling. full story

Appointed to the federal bench by Jimmy Carter, by the way.
One thing that's most intriguing for me is how they refer to Berger stuffing docs into his pants, not he put them in his pockets. Inadvertently putting something into your pocket I can understand but stuffing papers into ones pants? Dang those administrative snafus!
We need some signs for the convention, Sandy "Stickyfingers" Berger advises Kerry or Sandy Berger, drop your pants and show us the documents! Keep this story alive!
Something else the media glided over this weekend:
Kerry said he would not hesitate to use preemptive force to protect the country from an imminent threat of terrorist attack. Link
Some people I know will have a quandary now, one of the main reason these folks are so mad at GWB is because "we don't attack other countries without provocation", "Iraq didn't attack us" and so forth. I won't point out to them that the flip flopper would just never be able to find "actionable intelligence."
