Even tho' Kerry deleted information about terrorist policy from his site, I don't think what Berger was up to involved Kerry. That is, I don't think Kerry had any classified papers from Berger. Naturally since Berger wrote or ordered these papers written in the first place, Kerry's site might reflect Berger's thinking.
I think that if Kerry had known about the investigation of Berger, he wouldn't have used him to write policy. Kerry was probably removing anything that could be from Berger to distance himself.
The fact that he just removed this information suggests to me he just found out about Berger's legal problems.
Today in the Washington Times there is an article that describes the paper the FBI is concerned about. Berger seems to be covering up something, not sharing it. I think what he was doing has more to do with protecting his own image or Clinton's.
Here is the link and a short quote

"Covering up?
U.S. officials tell us that the FBI is focusing on a single document in its investigation of former White House National Security Adviser Samuel R. Berger. Investigators are trying to determine why Mr. Berger improperly removed a highly classified after-action report by Richard A. Clarke, an aide to Mr. Berger, that was harshly critical of the Clinton administration's response to the so-called millennium terrorist plot to bomb Los Angeles International Airport and other targets in late 1999."
Focus on a single document...IMHO, big mistake. Whenever the clintons point one way, look the other.
Berger did not take this incredibly rash and desperate action--which he surely knew he'd get caught at and likely do jail time for--over some "harshly critical" documents. Whatever he was after was off-the-chart radioactive. Unless the Millenium report contains such things, then that's only the diversion, the documents he wants us to focus on.
IMHO, because he knew he'd get caught, his only option was to make sure that the info he was after was never exposed. He set up a shell game....making sure everyone believed the pea was under the Millenium report. This is classic clinton MO. Divert and distract from the real smoking gun.
Yeah. There are all kinds of theories aren't there? Thanks for the links.
I can accept Kerry's assertion that he was completely clueless. But he has a clue now. He has clinton's own words that Bill knew long ago. Not to mention the simple fact that the Berger advisors and attorneys are all clinton cronies.
So now that Kerry has a clue -- namely that clinton hung him out to dry -- Kerry's reputation as a leader depends on his response. LOL.
And yes, Lanny Davis was the leak. He was asked point blank if he was the leak and said "none of your business." He didn't even bother with a non-denial denial.
