Berger on the 'Wall'

Yes, the originals are important.

Never-the-less, the dims must consider us to be totally whacko, because we have WJC coming out saying they are all laughing about it. ie, Sandy Berger is sloppy.

And yes, "inadvertently" is not even possible. Wrong word here.
Nothing gets into anyone's pants, inadvertently???!!!??? Or socks either, I might add.

Glad as you say, some can not be copied.

My wonderment is that as I looked today............the news papers aren't talking about it.

Is there too much news today, just to ignore this?
You know..........wait it out and it goes away.

In addition, this "drafts" business has a possibility that I had not considered until now. Suppose that the "marginal notes" or "comments" someone placed on a draft consisted of "PostIt notes"? (For example: Remove this reference to OBL being offered by Sudan - WJC) ... How would this be attached permanently to that draft copy for the sake of the archives?

I can never remember anyone using postit notes when editing or commenting classified documents. I can't imagine it being good practice. The work I did was in the generation of reports (analysis of radar imaging data - both theoretical and measured). This is in contrast with classified reports treated as inter-office memos or briefings like the docs Berger seems to have been after.

Thanks for the response about "post-its" - I finally saw it.

Those little doboppies weren't even invented yet when I was dealing with classified, so it wasn't an issue at all.

I would be surprised if it is even "legal" to do so in connection with this TS+ stuff, but wanted to ask someone who might know.

BY the Way: I've referred many Grateful FReepers to your excellent rundown --- I'm glad you posted is so many times, and so are they.

You're welcome. Actually, I was also straining to remember if we had post it notes around during my time. Of course we also didn't have cell phones, digital cameras ...etc
