you know, if you didn't read the article it would still be a funny statement
Good news is if it's a sting, they should definitely have copies.
I am sitting here trying to remember exactly HOW many times this fat pig has been on TV, talking about how Bush has lied since this must have happened!!!
For the same reason Don Vito Corleone called Tom Hagen.
I know I should not be surprised....I am speechless.

(* Now here's an excerpt from an article which makes me wonder if Berger's stolen docs are linked to this in some way- the article looked out of place at the time, like a weird CYA effort for a past administration. Perhaps it was effort to elevate people's roles and revise history to benefit a future campaign including these people.) :
DECEMBER 8, 1999 : (MILLENIUM PLOT? : CLINTON MEETING) WASHINGTON, "The grooms are ready for the big wedding." In another context sisters getting married in a double service this would be an occasion for joy. In fact, though, this was chilling news, a coded communiqué intercepted in an overseas telephone call. It was news that had the most powerful people of the most powerful nation gathered, grim-faced, in the windowless Situation Room in the basement of the White House. Among those seated around the massive wooden table Dec. 8, 1999, were Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Attorney General Janet Reno, National Security Advisor Samuel Berger, FBI Director Louis Freeh, CIA Director George Tenet, Richard Clarke of the National Security Council and Michael Sheehan, chief of counterterrorism for the State Department. Tenet had the floor: For months, the Central Intelligence Agency had been picking up sketchy reports about possible terrorist acts planned for the dawn of the millennium. Now, friendly foreign intelligence agencies were pursuing tips of terrifying inevitability. There may be as many as 15 attacks against Americans in the works, Tenet explained. The CIA didn't know where, though U.S. facilities abroad were likely targets. They didn't know exactly when, though analysts suspected it would be during New Year's Eve celebrations. What they did know was who: al-Qaida, the Islamic extremist group headed by Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden. But bin Laden and his network had been elusive prey. And the latest intelligence reports confirmed that the terrorists were doing more than hiding. They were plotting. Jordanian security agents had intercepted a telephone call between an al-Qaida leader and a suspected Jordanian terrorist. In the call, Abu Zubaydah, the No. 3 man in al-Qaida, said cryptically, "The grooms are ready for the big wedding" a signal that plans were in motion. So the White House drafted plans of its own. Clarke, Clinton's point man on terrorism, outlined them for the others: First, the administration would persuade friendly governments to sweep up suspected terrorists and arrest, search, deport or simply harass them anything to disrupt the New Year's Eve attacks. Meanwhile, the State Department's Sheehan would contact the Taliban, the radical Islamic ruling party in Afghanistan, and demand that it turn over bin Laden for prosecution in the embassy bombings. - (Where's Clinton?)

(* My note: This seems to be an effort to play up Clarke in the press as being more important than he actually was- don't forget the Millenium plot was only discovered because of an alert customs agent at the border who caught Ressam, not neccessarily because of anything Clarke or anyone else did.)
DECEMBER 14, 1999 : (MILLENIUM PLOT : RESSAM CAUGHT BY US CUSTOMS SERVICE) "Thanks to the quick response of US Customs Agents to behavior deemed suspicious at the Canadian border in Port Angeles on December 14, 1999, Ahmed Ressam was caught trying to smuggle RDX explosives. A wide-ranging investigation, unprecedented in its sweep and scope, succeeded in identifying and arresting other members of the hitherto unknown terrorist cell to which Ressam belonged. A plot to bomb and destroy targets in the United States, although still not publicly identified, had been narrowly averted." - PREPARED TESTIMONY OF STEVEN EMERSON, TERRORIST EXPERT AND INVESTIGATOR, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, TERRORISM NEWSWIRE, INC.

DECEMBER 26, 1999 : (BOXING DAY HOLIDAY : UK LABOUR MP GALLOWAY IS IN IRAQ, MEETS WITH IRAQI INTELLIGENCE AGENT OVER GALLOWAY'S CUT OF THE OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAM) One of the documents [found by the UK Telegraph in Iraq in 2003] was a memorandum suggesting that on Boxing Day 1999 Mr Galloway met an Iraqi intelligence agent in Baghdad and laid out his demands for a larger slice of the revenue from the sale of three million barrels of oil every six months. It also purported to show him as asking for "exceptional" commercial opportunities. Saddam Hussein's office rejected these alleged requests for more money, explaining that they were unaffordable. -"I was in Iraq on day alleged in memos, admits Galloway," By Sally Pook, Daily Telegraph - UK, June 18, 2003

However, DIA and FBI counterspies could not prove she was engaging in espionage and Montes continued passing secrets to Havana until she was discovered in late 1999. ... Montes was placed under surveillance in late 1999 and at one point was selected to work for CIA Director George J. Tenet's National Intelligence Council.

* My note: Of course, it's worth noting that a guy named Zarqawi was tied deeply into the Millenium Plots ... he is one of the biggest links between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda, and one of the biggest thorns in our side even today.
I can see why a rat would want to hide info on this guy- if they want to keep they "no connections" myth alive.
WOW, he is going to jail
Didn't Fawn Hall stuff from documents down her pants or something? Someone help me out here.
I'm afraid it will be yet another "smack on the wrist."
You know, "He's admitted it; it was inadvertent. Let's move on."
hehehe ... GOOD!
God, I hope they get destroyed over this. But I'm not as optimistic as you are, the Left are cover up artists. And they have most of the papers and the big 3 networks.
October 2, 2003 was when Archives said pages were missing. House was searched in January after Berger couldn't find papes and he had retained counsel. I guess just enough time to rid the house and office of any clues! LOL.
Nothing like telegraphing that "We're coming to search your house."
I was just thinking about that; what would the purpose of doing this be FOR HIM? He had to know the rules.
What did HE have to gain?
You're exactly right; thank you for bringing me back to my senses!
WOW, he is going to jail
I know it's a longshot, but they should try to flip Berger and go after the "Big Cheese"....
