Set aside Republican speculation that former Clinton national security adviser Samuel "Sandy" Berger was trying to hide classified information from the Sept. 11 commission or that he had provided the material to the Kerry campaign. Do likewise with Democratic suspicions that the FBI's investigation of Berger was leaked to distract attention from the commission's report. Those concerns, all unproven, are partisan and secondary. Keep the focus where it belongs. Did Sandy Berger violate the rules regarding the protection of classified information entrusted to him, and if he did, will he be held accountable for his actions?

Ann, I TOTALLY agree with you, Berger Berglerized at the behest of the Clinton's...........but it is also quite likely that some of the classified info got passed to the Kerry campaign. LOTS of nervous dems in DC right now.
bump for INDICTMENTS!
But did you notice the punishment that Mr. King is subtly suggesting? He is not giving examples of people who went to jail. In every example he gave of people who "went down" for misuse of secret documents, all that happened is that they got their security clearances revoked. BIG DEAL!!
That may have been what Clinton told him beforehand. "Look, Sandy, you may have to go through a little embarrassment for a couple days on Fox News, Believe me, heh heh, no one else is gonna cover this story.
"Some will scream for you to be punished, so we will have them take away this temporary security clearance that you got to look through those documents! Ha! No big deal, Sandy, my man, and believe you me, any position you want in Hillary's admin is YOURS, boy!
"Now what kinda socks you got on? Cause those short ones only hold about 30 pages."
This is not small potatoes. This goes to the heart of the Clinton administration foreign policy and national security. Kerry was planning a Clinton administration redux. Now, he has to start from scratch and find new faces. The convention was supposed to be all about elect Kerry and you'll get Clinton.
bttt.
Someone needs to ASK HILLARY!
