Wouldn't everything in the archives have been microfilmed and stashed away somewhere?

You would think, but from what I understand there are some documents that are gone for good. Cannot be found. It makes me so sick to think this, but I have a bad feeling this will be swept completely under the rug in the next couple of days.

It's hard to say whether special intelligence or compartmented intelligence is "microfilmed".
From my experience as a special security officer, I'd say probably not.
These documents are so sensitive that they are on registers and must be signed out by people who have proper, verified clearance and NEED TO KNOW. They are accounted for- page by page, copy by copy.
And when they are destroyed, the destruction must be witnessed and both witnesses must sign.
The classification level assigned is based on an assessment that compromise of the information would cause, at a minimum, grave damage to US national security.
Berger was probably granted an interim clearance to access this information solely to prepare for his 911 testimony.
His abuse of PRIVILEGE- both that of serving in government and that of having access to our top national security information- has been abused to the point it makes me sick to my stomach. I haven't felt this way for a long time- since Clinton left office.
