Fox & Friends showed where the NYT put it..........Buried on page A-7, or 17. Real small blurb.
It's all OK because there were backup copies.
As NSA chief, Berger knew that there were backup copies, so that's what made it OK for him to take them.
Now I know that the reason for the emphasis on Berger's story this morning is to plant the supposedly "exculpatory" story about the backup copies. Now they can bury it.
This sounds like Gergen is part of damage control.
Other stories said that he took some originals and they were not returned.
It will be interesting to find out what was on them.
Oh, for crying out loud. The millenium plot at LAX was stopped because an alert border agent in Washington State was suspicious of a Middle Eastern man crossing over from Canada who acted nervous. Said border agent had never seen any warnings or tips from higher-ups, she acted on her own.
Yes, it was good that the plot was stopped by this employee, but giving credit to Sandy Berger or any other Clinton figure is ridiculous.
"But Berger said he had no intention of withholding documents from the 9/11 commission. "To the contrary, to my knowledge, every document requested by the commission from the Clinton administration was produced," Berger said in the statement,"
This is hogwash. Why didn't the Commission send their staffers over to go through the documents, why ask the Clinton administration to pick and choose what to produce?
"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"
How does one "inadvertently" take documents when one is not suppose to?
Once the FBI was alerted this Commission went into cover up mode, and willingly made themselves look like a partism sham, so the rest of us would ignore them.
David Gergen is a soft s**t. This supposed REpublican will excuse any lefty.
I was at the bank the other day, day-dreaming about Jimmy Cagney movies. I got to the Teller and inadvertantly said, "This is a stick-up!" Next thing I know, people are stuffing money in my pockets!! I was so confused, I didn't know what to do! So, I walked out calmly, then ran down the alley to where I had stashed my car. Then I went home and inadvertantly shaved my beard.
On the other hand, I think this illustrates the power of the alternate news sources like the internet and talk radio.
Bottom right of A1 in the Austin Pravda. Just the headline and a couple of paragraphs there and the rest on the back page of the A section.
I have this bad feeling that this is another set up akin to the initial reports of Slick Willy storming out of his deposition during the Jones matter.
Gergen is carrying water for the Clinton's, that much can't be denied.
This is a HUGE STORY.

If you really want to get the media on stories like this involving theft of secure documents from the archives, we simply have to get David Schippers to appear on Fox News this evening, claiming that he copied all the documents that had been stored in the Ford Building during Clinton's impeachment.
This Bozo was our NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER to another Bozo, Clinton. If he could "inadvertently" discard top secret documents, then this incompetence is at least as criminal as if he deliberately discarded them.
But lets all face facts here gang. He didn't "inadvertently" discard something he stole from a top secret reading room. He purposely destroyed it because it contained damning information. Since it's "top secret" we can't know what it was, but let us assume that if it was important enough to steal and destroy and it had to do with 911, then we can only assume that at some point Clinton had an opportunity to end the future 911 threat, and was too "busy" to be bothered.
First Joe Wilson and now Sandy Berger. Apparently Kerry decided to have his scandals during the campaign in case he lost.
BS. Anyone who's ever been around classified information knows it is an extremely serious violation. Serious enough for someone like me to spend a long time breaking rocks if I had done it. Geregn is in either an uninformed fool or deliberately lying to play on the ignorance of an uninformed public.
There is pinning and there is lying - this goes way beyond spinning.
Lawyer speak. What about the documents that weren't requested?
When missing coverage becomes news then you know who is managing the news.
That's the money line. What did he "discard" and why would he "discard" anything having to do with the investigation?
I fully expect silence on the part of the "mainstream" media. Naturally, the "biased" Fox News will cover it, the partisan ba$tards! LOLOL!
Let's put the "fair and balanced" coverage of ABCNBCCBSCNN to the test.
