WASHINGTON -- Government and congressional officials said the investigation of Sandy Berger for taking classified Sept. 11 documents is still active.
They also said no decision has been made on whether Berger should face criminal charges.
The officials said the missing documents from a secure reading room at the National Archives include critical assessments about the Clinton administration's handling of the millennium terror threats.
The documents also deal with identifying America's terror vulnerabilities at airports and sea ports.
Berger said he knowingly took handwritten notes, but inadvertently took documents.
Meanwhile, a statement from the House Intelligence Committee said it has not yet been informed about the loss or theft of any classified intelligence information from the Archives.
In my job, I absolutely, 100%, guarenteed, without a doubt, and with no possibility of failure assure you that if I had been caught taking home highly classified documents AFTER STUFFING THEM IN MY PANTS to sneak them out, there would be no decision as to whether or not I'd be prosecuted.
Sandy Burglar SHOULD be charged with a crime because he DID commit a crime. He admitted it. He stated he was "sloppy". What he meant was he was so sloppy and stupid that he got caught. Those documents in the National Archives belong to you and me. I want them back.
I expect this to be the standard story in all print media tommorrow, if it gets any play at all.
Copying 'a few notes' from a classified document does not declassify the notes. It's the information that is classified, not the paper and ink of the source document.

No, it's Pete Peterson.
Please tell us you're not just noticing this.
This takes us all back to the merry days of the clinton crime team in it's heyday.
Most of us here know immediately what and who's behind this.
Are you being "Bullish"? LOL, no I'm not just noticing but it never ceases to amaze me and I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop!!
I've been here awhile but not during the impeachment, I sure would have liked being here then!
Yeah, it would have been real fun if they would have hanged the SOB.
LOL, I don't know if I'd go as far as hanging!. We wouldn't get to see him suffer!
