What is "World Magazine"? (Or don't I want to know?)
Furthermore:
"...Berger was not just the malfeasant, poll-driven, cowardly hack at the helm of our national security apparatus who enabled the global metastasis of bloodthirsty jihad; he was not just one of the key people who roadblocked cooperation between law enforcement and foreign intelligence, stacking “Gorelick’s Wall” ever higher. In fact, as bagman for the Communist Chinese, Sandy Berger was himself likely one of the key beneficiaries of Gorelick’s Wall."

Unfortunately, I think the odds are pretty good that he'll skate with a "heartfelt apology". And that will be that.
This looks like a spin article ("...see he did it before!! He's sloppy by nature...no harm intended")
Very interesting.
Ah yes, the China Gate spins by Berger. I think that we will find out he spun the Los Alamos lost of data during that fiasco. These are great quotes:
"Mr. Berger's defenders note that he is known for his sloppiness, and that it took multiple assistants to keep him organized during his tenure as national security adviser. But his detractors remember something more sinister about his years in the Clinton White House: Even then he was manipulating classified information to achieve political goals.
"This is the second time now that we have a documented case of Berger mishandling classified information," said Rep. Curt Weldon (R-Pa.), recalling a 1999 incident that led him to take to the floor of the House to criticize "the outrageous and curious behavior of our so-called national security adviser."
"As a member of the Cox Committee charged with investigating the transfer of high-tech secrets to China during the Clinton administration, in January 1999 Rep. Weldon sent an advance copy of the committee's report to Mr. Berger for his review. After seven months of closed-door, bipartisan hearings with no leaks to the press, the committee of five Republicans and four Democrats had unanimously recommended some three dozen steps that should be taken to protect America's national security.
"Within days, however, "Sandy Berger issued a statement to selected members of the media putting the White House spin on what was still a classified document," congressman Weldon recalled. "He did that without asking any member of the committee. Before the CIA director could even read our report, Berger was already spinning. That sets the pattern for what may have occurred" in the Archives case, Rep. Weldon believes.
"Though he planned to remain silent on the current controversy until more facts came to light, a reminder of Mr. Berger's record was enough to change Rep. Weldon's mind. "I remember this vividly now," he told WORLD in his first interview on the subject. "I went through it in a detailed way on the floor of the House. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Berger pre-released classified information to benefit the White House."
"Then as now, the Pennsylvania congressman faults the Clinton spin machine for putting political calculus before the national interest. "This was an egregious violation of our country's national security," he said of the top-secret documents missing from the National Archives. "There's no way that any human being would put information in their socks unless they were trying desperately to hide something.
More on our cuddly little guy, the Bergular!
I sense another graphic art target/thread of opportunity.
Thank you for this. This is the stuff that slides down the memory hole so that our criminally stupid and/or mendacious journalists can pretend to be objective when not mentioning it.
Could berger have put additional things into the archives????? Inquiring minds need to know.

BUMP!
Once a thieving democrat, always a thieving democrat.
Wondered what happened; thanks for posting!
As others have said, 'only twice'? And I'll add, 'only him'?
This is priceless! So we hire a National Security Adviser and he is so competent that we then have to hire watchers in order to keep him on track! Are we ever, as a country, going to recover from the Clinton Administration?
AND ----what the heck is going to happen to us when Clinton II take over?
The media should have a class action lawsuit brought against them for their handling of this story - they have absolutely REFUSED to COVER IT! It's NO WHERE in my local paer...
Berger should HAVE NO ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED INFO....PERIOD!
Doesn't matter. The dems obviously leaked the Berger deal a week before the DNC thus resulting in it being a one week story max and then it dies. Would have been better to have the Berger story come out after the DNC or better yet after the RNC.
