Berger is either stupid/incompetent or had criminal intent. Either way....
Just your average Democrat
Beside somehow it has to be Bush fault
"Berger is either stupid/incompetent or had criminal intent. Either way...."
Either way, he was a top adviser to Kerry.
Take the keys and lock him up
And anyone who thinks he has "quit" advising the Kerry campaign is gullible enough to believe Berger just made "an honest mistake."
How about "all of the above?"
He claims incompetence. Justice may say different....
Yeah, but what if it wasn't the document, it was hand-written notations on the document? That's why they make multiple copies, isn't it?
Tom Brokejaw had this as lead story last night on NBC. Clinton, at a book signing in Denver, looking especially fleshy, said the Burglar had "worked his tail off" for the American people...
I spent last night and this morning laughing at Democrats trying to spin the unspinable.....(grin)
And for some reason, this story causes me to consider another dumb Democrat, Bob Beckel - the guy that though bribing delegates of the Electoral College was a "good idea".
If you are a Bush supporter you simply can't script these kinds of stories that clearly portray the Democrats as imbeciles.
Does anyone seriously think that if Condi Rice had done something like this, the media and the Dems would believe her? Obviously Condi would never do something as transparently stupid as what Bergler did, but the point remains the same: Republicans would never be able to get away with just some glib explanation about an "honest mistake". I mean for crying out loud he was stuffing top-secret documents down his pants!! Would a Republican get the benefit of the doubt ? Of course not. They'd be hollering COVERUP!!!! and demanding their scalp.
Ignorance of the law is not an excuse us common folks can use and intent is not a defense..
"Yes sir, I did put briefs in my boxers on several occasions. I can assure you it was to cure a Taco Bell hangover and not the content of the documents."

How many other deceitful Klintoon holdovers does kerry have in his campaign? Inquiring minds want to know. A Kerry/Edwards presidency is beginning to smell more and more like a rehash of the Klintoon years. The Republic can not afford any more "Trouser-Gates"!!!!!!
peace....D
Not if the memos were of different revisions. I'm betting each time a draft was circulated through the upper echelons of the Clinton Administration, that it came back with 'comments' requesting that certain things be edited or 'softened.' Comparing one draft to the subsequent draft would give an indication of the REAL truth and how political pressure may have been used to obscure it.
....and I'm betting that the earlier drafts may not have been copied, possibly only the final one exists in duplicate. Therefore scarfing up the original drafts would go a long way toward preserving the Clinton testimony to the 9/11 commission.
rules are for little people... and republicans since the media will provide cover for RAT lawbreaking and disrespect of our institutions
If so then Berger's goose is cooked.
There may be as many as a few hundred thousand people who have to live by the very strict rules we have established for the handling of classified material and a fraction of these will be trusted with "code word" classified documents.
There is no way that we could maintain any credibility in this system if Berger was somehow to escape punishment for a violation of the rules this severe. The morale of the security officers in the Government and in the U.S. aerospace industry who are responsible for briefing cleared personnel and maintaining classified document control systems would simply be destroyed.
That's not going to happen on Bush's watch. OTOH, you can be sure that Kerry would pardon him in heartbeat.
...BTW, we know that the Gore Commission softened it's recommendations for airport security when the major airlines b*tched. What do you want to bet that the various drafts of the same memo are a graphic demonstration of the Clinton Administration shifting from an aggressive anti-terror proposal to something more ineffective.
