Since the beginning, I've been most shocked by the fact that Mr. Berger claims to have thrown classified documents into his garbage. That means that highly classified national security documents were not properly destroyed and could have would up anywhere, from a landfill to the gutter on Mr. Berger's street. There is a reason why they shred or incinerate those documents to dispose of them.

That's an excellent observation, given what Berger has claimed. I suspect, however, that a paper-shredder was involved.

I am not worried about Berger accidentally allowing documents to get into the wrong hands. I worried about him handing them over to the wrong people...intentionally.

Berger is a fool, but not stupid enough to throw out documents that he wants to get rid of. Whatever he destroyed was probably put in a cross-cut shredder, doused in gasoline, set afire, and the ashes scattered around his backyard.

However, for him to admit that would sound a little suspicious.
