OhhhhhhYeeeeeeesssssss!

This stinks like a corpse taken out of a river. What are the chances that this will be treated seriously?

This story is monumental. It is what Karl Rove has been waiting for. Early Merry Christmas, Karl.

The Dem Convention will be overshadowed by this story, Ted Kennedy will be reduced to comparing how easy he was able to sweep the scandal of Mary Jo's drowning under the rug because Ted is well versed in the art of excusing Death and Treason and still preserve their electability to be re-elected.

But the fact of the matter is.... They're done.... Well Done!

accidentally threw away some documents

Accidentally on purpose.

"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," Mr. Berger stated.
============================================

How does one inadvertantly stuff papers down his pants?

Mr. Berger was allowed to take handwritten notes but also knew that taking his own notes out of the secure room was a "technical violation of Archive procedures, but it is not all clear to us this represents a violation of the law," Mr. Breuer said.

Because it's CLASSIFIED information??

I'm still wondering WHY he even bothered to take notes knowing they could not leave the room??

He was a National Security Adviser, was he not??

So if ANYONE should know the procedures .. I would think HE SHOULD KNOW

Sounds like Berger is still doing the Clinton Shuffle. He took those papers intentionally and was trying (or succeeded) to hide the most damning of them.

HOW WILL THE NEWSPAPERS COVER THIS?

The newspapers will have to, but it could be a story on the back page. And if by some random chance this ever sees the front page, the headline will read something like "National Security Advisor guilty of shredding 9/11 Information". That way, the general population that really only looks at headlines will assume that the Bush administration is guilty of shredding evidence. This story deserves to be reported but I fear Savage, Limbaugh, and Fox News are the only outlets that will cover this story with the amount it needs to have. CNN will use it as a way to speculate what the Bush administration hid, and whether the Republicans asked Berger for help to shred evidence that showed Clinton warning Bush about Bin Laden.

Kinda like CIA Director John Deutch taking his CIA computer home and surfing the internet. (a true story)

[ricktex401]

This story will have no legs at all. You people do not understand how completely coopted the press is by the Democrats.

[R. Scott]

I was President Clinton's national security adviser! Security laws and regulations don’t apply to me!

[Brilliant]

Berger was trying to cover up documents that were embarrassing to him and to Clinton.

[jokar]

Ping for the archive.

My letter to the L.A. Times:

Editor
Los Angeles Times

Sir:

Conveniently buried on page A13 of today's Times, we find more evidence--as if any were needed--of the criminality and moral bankruptcy of the Clinton Administration and its henchmen. Sandy Berger being the case in point. The Times also conveniently forgot to mention that--in addition to 'inadvertently' committing several crimes including tampering with evidence, tampering with National Archives, theft of documents, etc., Mr. Berger also 'inadvertently' destroyed ("mislaid" or "discarded") several documents which he ' inadvertently ' removed from the Archive.

It's the "we're not crooks, we're just incompetent" defense which served the Clintons and their aides so well over 8 years. Mr. Berger--like dozens of other Clinton minions--deserves to be in Federal Prison, but that is highly unlikely to happen when we live in a nation in which justice is served up differently for the well-connected and politically important.

Had Mr. Berger been a Bush advisor, you’re A-13 story would have been splashed on page 1 in 48-point type, correct?
