Last fall, Berger reviewed thousands of Clinton administration documents at the National Archives that were being sought by the Sept. 11 panel. Two law enforcement sources said archives officials had suspected Berger removed documents during an early visit, and made sure they secretly coded and copied records for the next time he came.

Holy...

If I'm understanding correctly, this means that it may never be completely known what he removed on the first visit(s) before the staff became suspicious. As you say, holy...

And the dem spokespeople and 9/11 mouthpieces that are saying that Berger "only took copies of original docs, and that all the originals are still in possession of the Archives" are full of sh*t.

It's pretty clear from this story that Berger had his hands on the original versions of various interim drafts of the Clarke memo, and the interim drafts may have contained some damaging points that were 'deleted' from the offical report.

This is why the "honest mistake" excuse Berger offered isn't being taken seriously--except by David Gergen.
