"None of this looks good for Kerry, any way you slice it. Of course the timing of the revelation is curious; but that does not make it any less serious!"

. . .more than curious; and maddening; given the play of the entire 9/11 Investigation hype and lies contained therein.

Can only wonder the 'words flying' in the Kerry campaign; and those buzzing in the Clinton camp. . .and that would include as well, the Senator Hillary.

Can hardly wait to hear her response. Probably filed it away, months ago; under 'just in case I need it'. . .

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Your theory makes sense to me, too.

[xm177e2]

I agree that this is probably more about Berger or Berger-Kerry than about Berger-Clinton.

But I see it as a defensive action, rather than the first stage of an attack. Berger is ashamed of whatever was in those documents. He returned most of them, but whatever was in the last two was so terrible he won't give them back.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

This might lend weight to your thought that this was all about Clinton:

FR attention required: Clinton's consigliere, Lindsey, was contacted after Berger doc theft

[cricket]

"What is this ###?????"

It is precisely that.

That they stand in it; up to their eyeballs; while acting like they are 'clean'; only accentates the truth about these people.

Liberals come from a place; where most would dread to tread.

Just tuned in to Rush a few minutes ago; and he pointed out the sheer brazeness of Berger; he was on 'Meet the Press'; just two weeks ago; bashing; diminishing George Bush.

[teletech]

Clearly Berger is hiding something, or has a sick and twisted fetish with classified documents and naked flesh.

LOL!

I did not stuff them in my socks
I did not stuuf them in my jocks
I did not stuff them here or there
I did not stuff them anywhere!

Samuel 'Sandy' Berger, (L) the U.S. National Security advisor to former U.S. President Bill Clinton (news - web sites), is under investigation after removing classified documents from the National Archives while preparing to appear before the September 11 commission, a U.S. official said July 19, 2004.

"You are right about the Millenium Terror thing. The only reason they caught Ressam was because an alert customs agent thought the guy looked suspicious (he was sweating profusly) and because Ressam gave two different answers to the same question just moments apart. It was blind luck, but Clinton used it as a prime (if not THE prime) example of his administrations' commitment to anti-terrorism."

It's also true that thePort Angeles custom agent at first suspected drugs, not bombs.

"I agree we need to put these guy's in jail for this stuff. Never let these deeds go unpunished, make them pay the price."

I might give up entirely; if the Bush Administration fails to follow through with this;

. . .albeit, risking the 'wrath'; lies and spin and threatened destruction; that will be promised from the Left.

[NormsRevenge]

connect the spots on the blue dress.. and waa laaa. ;-)

[Maigrey]

How can it be inadvertand when he stuck them in his socks? That's theft, plain and simple (10 years retail will do that!)

[maestro]

Clearly Berger is hiding something, or has a sick and twisted fetish with classified documents and naked flesh.

The 'Monica Psychiatrist Files'.........et al.

What a forthcoming book!

/sarcasm

[hresources]

Documents that were "inadvertently thrown away" are probable huge embarrassments to Clinton administration inaction on credible terrorist warnings. To think that he would go to the trouble of taking them and then "mistakenly" discarding them stretches the imagination to the fullest.

[teletech]

Same way Nicole and Ron inadvertently ran into OJ's knife several times.

Ya, just like Nicole & Ron. Paging Johnny Cockroach!

[Wolfstar]

I've been trying to find someone who can provide a MOTIVE for what Berger did...

While I won't speculate as to what may have been in Berger's mind, we now have some facts to help us partially outline motive:

• Berger "reviewed" the documents to (a) prepare for his own testimony, or (b) at the behest of Bill Clinton, or (c) both.
• The documents in question related to the plot to blow up LAX at the turn of the New Year in 2000 — what has become known as the Millenium Plot.
• The documents in question were CRITICAL of the Clinton administration's handling of terrorism.
• Knowing the above, AT MINIMUM, Berger was checking into what negative material was in the National Archives and, therefore, either in or soon to be in the hands of the 9/11 Commission.
• He made notes and took copies of selected documents, AT MINIMUM to help Clinton, Berger himself, and possibly others (ahem — wink, wink, nod, nod) to arrange the story he would tell to the 9/11 Commission.

If Berger had deeper motives, such as to in some way damage GWB or to assist Dean and/or Kerry, we may never know. However, we should not close our minds to the possibility.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

See this thread for motive:

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

And this nice summary from the thread:

"This should bring down the Clinton legacy for good, but they will see to it that it will not. I firmly believe the Clinton's sent Berger in to get rid of the evidence."

It's absolutely incredible. The documents Berger stole apparently were releated to the Millennium Plot review. In that review, Clinton was briefed that Al Qaeda had infilitrated the United States and was planning an attack. And Clinton did nothing!

And then? He sent his national security advisor to steal the documents? Wow!

"This should bring down the Clinton legacy for good, but they will see to it that it will not. I firmly believe the Clinton's sent Berger in to get rid of the evidence."

[cookcounty]

Maybe it helps Kerry indirectly, because it is designed to damage Bush and therby it benefits whoever the Dem turned out to be.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Could it be that this is only about Clinton?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I want it to be about Kerry but I don't think it looks that way/ wish it did!

[cookcounty]

" 'he hid them in his pockets and his socks'; inadvertantly?"

Emphasize the socks rather than the pants. One can imagine inadvertantly putting some papers in your pants pocket ----but in your socks?
