Archives Employees Suspicious of Berger... devised a coding system and marked the documents they knew Berger was interested in canvassing, and watched him carefully... employees determined that that draft and all four or five other versions of the millennium memo had disappeared from the files after Berger viewed them, WASH POST set to report, say sources... Developing...

"We won't hear about this after Sunday of this week - It won't make the nightly news again"

You are probably right for the reason that there won't be anything new to report for quite a while. This is a security investigation. Not the Laci Peterson trial. It is a very serious, professional, structured event. Berger has already lost his access to classified information. If he's found guilty, he'll never regain his access. His career as a Washington Bigwig is over. But Kerry needed a name like his for his campaign. Now all he has is a lingering mud trail. This won't be big news for long, but it is a big blow to the Kerry campaign. And rightly so. Along with the lying Joe Wilson, it is further evidence that Kerry's judgement in picking advisors is suspect.

Kerry told NBC News that he had been unaware Berger was under investigation.

I saw a clip of this on Olberman. It was a Brokaw interview. Kerry said (3 times) "I didn't have a clue".

Lawrence O'Donnell on Scarborough Country tonight said that Sandy Berger is the person who leaked the information about the investigation.

Another "just as we thought". Nice to see it confirmed so quickly. I think since the story began with a statement from Berger and his lawyer, that was the big clue. (We've got clues. Kerry has none.)

You hope? I'm afraid to inform you this story is not going away.

NO...I don't hope - certainly not -

However, I have seen how mind-boggling biased the national news media has covered this story thus far - I have a repeated email conversation with Aaron Brown going since last night - and I can tell - the "ONLY" story is why did the GOP leak this now -

When it appears Berger leaked it himself -(they don't care...the media that is....the GOP leaked it..PERIOD...end of story) -

I hope you are right - lets see how much coverage it gets by next week - I'm guessing about Zero -

Lets hope I'm wrong.

People died as a result of that leak. Where was the Dems concern over that? I literally hate the bastards!

Yep...you and I are on the same page.

The Pentagon had the goods on these guys and were preparing prosecutions when someone stole and leaked to time it right before Rummy goes in front of the Gorelick kangaroo court.

Politics is one thing...
Life and National security quite another.

Kerry knew, he is simply taking a nuanced stance.

Remember now!.... John Kerry said if he is elected, "I will NOT be the last to know"

"Faced with boring speeches from Senator Kerry or the exciting arena of Watergate-level political intrigue, it's a safe bet that this scandal will get more coverage than the Boston Convention."

I would bet that it won't.

The media WILL NOT do an about face and do something to harm their side.

I bet this goes away. Yes, it is big. Yes, if it were a republican the media would be screaming bloody murder. But we have to remember, this is a war. Us against them. Them being the leftists/commies. With rare exceptions, the media ARE commies and leftists. They are our enemies, they will not do anything to harm their cause.

I would be thrilled to be wrong this time. You have no idea how much I want to be wrong this time.

"Or two kerry was totally in the dark - which means Berger, Klintoon and others all knew for months but refused to tip kerry off...."

This is my guess.

It is mind boggling to watch - and I as much as anyone knows how biased the media is to begin with - and still I'm shocked.

What are you watching? The rest of us are seeing the story unfold in the media around us and you're running around crying about it not getting covered.

Well you have a point there. Probably explains why there's no video also. So the Dems may be counting on simply intimidating the Archives employees into changing their story, if there can't be any recording of what actually happened, only eyewitness testimony?

He did this over a period of time, as we all know. I wonder if the DOJ has started looking at his phone records to see what numbers he called during the time period he took the documents.

This has been ongoing though since OCT 2003 - the only reason Berger would have leaked this now is to try and cut off a possible indictment - no?

My point being - if there is something here the feds are going to do (not the media mind you) it is going to happen sooner ...not later-

And if we think the "media" are going to cover this story - we'll all be sadly surprised once again -

The Berger defenders are engaging in clever misdirection with the constant emphasis on the issue of copies, framing the issue as though this was merely a matter of protecting and preserving historical documents instead of protecting the classified data contained in those documents.

Actually, they are digging their own graves. There is a criminal investigation underway. Eventually, if not already, someone is going to mention something that they are not supposed to know about. It is going to be a FUN time in Washington shortly. McAuliffe already gave away the fact that the Dems are scared to death.

"Video can be placed at ankle-level, pointed up to watch people, while not showing documents."

Hmmmmm. I think I read about that in some pop-up ad about voyuer cameras. Of course, in Bergers case, ankle-level cameras would still reveal classified information as he stuffed the documents into his socks.

"Why is McAuliffe squealing like a pig?"

Because, due to Berger's stupidity and Clinton's arrogant corruption, the details of the Millennium Report will soon be public knowledge.

Bill Clinton knew Al Qaeda was operating in America and did nothing.

John Kerry has surrounded himself with almost every member of the Administration that brought us 9/11.

Voting for John Kerry is so Septemeber 10th

Or three: Kerry knew this and had his campaign leak this to the press right before the 9/11 commission releases its report and the DNC convention. That way it is in the news for a few days, then these events suck all the oxygen out of the news cycle. When it comes back into the news when Berger gets charged, the Dems can say that it has been thoroughly vetted and the charges are political.

Years ago, I was an aircraft commander in the Strategic Air Commmand......and accordingly, I dealt with my share of national "secrets"; i.e. highly classified data. I was nowhere NEAR the position of National Security Advisor, and I sure as HELL knew the rules/laws governing the use of classified information.

Bottom line: Sandy Berger is a bald-faced liar. He was deliberately removing classified information from a secured location. What well and truly pisses me off.........FACT.........is that you or I would be clamped in irons by now. This son of a bitch may very well walk strictly because he's a well known Democrat operative.

THAT.....my friends..........THAT absolutely infuriates me.
