He said Berger - as the millennium approached - led the effort to prevent a terror attack on the Los Angeles airport and other targets in the U.S. Gergen said Berger successfully thwarted the airport attack.

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.

I agree, so makes me wonder what Berger was really after. Could it be that the Clintons weren't too please that the border agent had successfully prevented the plot? This bunch really believed that algore was going to be the next president and Hillry got herself cover by running for the Senate. There is no club like that club for protecting its own.

The after action report revealed that Berger was clueless.

Notice the date of the article.

Mark Levin: This is why Berger stole the documents and 'lost' them

Reno testified to this at the 9/11 committee meetings. She said his capture was pure luck due totally to the alertness of the border agent. I think someone else from the clinton administration said the same thing but I can't recall who.

Gergen makes me sick.
