You just don't get it. There wouldn't be an investigation that started last October if he had permission to remove them. Also, you seem to forget that he stuffed them in his pants, socks and shirt. Doesn't sound like he had permission to me, and for you to try to make it sound like he might have is TROLL like. Smells like a troll to me or someone who has the IQ of a string bean.
Of course he did not have permission to stuff them in his pants. Another poster with expertise on security proceedures noted that high officials can make arrangements to view documents off-site. This way they can do their writing with the documents instead of just notes.
As I said, you can only have a pencil and paper supplied by the archives to take notes.
If Berger was not given permission to take the documents off site, he may have stolen them so he could work on his 9-11 testimony from the documents instead of notes.
If he had permission to check out the papers but instead stole them, this suggests he may have had some worse motive.
So far, no Senator has accused Kerry of using classified info stolen by Sandy Berger. A Senator said that "Kerry knows better than to take classified documents IF HE DID."
