"In the course of reviewing over several days thousands of pages of documents on behalf of the Clinton administration in connection with requests by the Sept. 11 commission, I inadvertently took a few documents from the Archives," Berger said.


"When I was informed by the Archives that there were documents missing, I immediately returned everything I had except for a few document that I apparently had accidentally discarded," he said.


Lanny Breuer, one of Berger's attorneys, said his client has offered to cooperate fully with the investigation but has not been interviewed by the FBI or prosecutors. Berger has been told he is the subject of the investigation, Breuer said.


Government and congressional officials familiar with the investigation, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because the probe involves classified materials, said the investigation remains active and that no decision has been made on whether Berger should face criminal charges.


The officials said the missing documents were highly classified, and included critical assessments about the Clinton administration's handling of the millennium terror threats as well as identification of America's terror vulnerabilities at airports to sea ports.

Everyone accidentally discards documents stamped secret all over them. Happens all the time. Just like junk mail.

NO ONE who has handled sensitive information "accidentally" discards anything.

Yeah, he accidentally fed them through the shredder, doused the shredded paper with gasoline, and set it on fire.

Ah, so now we're getting to the truth about Sandy's — ahem — "inadvertent" stuffing of documents down his pants, in his shirt pockets, in his briefcase, and in whatever other orifice he could use to sneak them out of the building.

Right, accidentally discarded. Since the documents were in the National Archives they were not important?

Sheesh....
