He's something much worse than a bumbler. I know Berger for just what he is - a political climber in a position of trust he did not earn and of which he is not worthy, as events have proven.
You see a lot of these guys if you deal in intelligence. They have no regard for the backbreaking effort it took, or the lives that were at risk, to produce the piece of paper before him, and his first thought is not how to protect its accuracy and integrity by safeguarding it but for what sordid political gain he can procure by arrogating to himself the right to release it against all the promises he signed, against all the warnings he received, and against all the rules he agreed to abide by. This is no ignorant rube, he's the former head of the NSA, and there is no excuse, NONE, for this level of irresponsibility. He'll get away with it because the powerful who his theft benefit will protect him, and that is what is wrong with the system.
Incorrect. He's the former head of the President's National Security Council with the title of
"National Security Advisor." The National Security Agency (NSA) is led by a general and is
essentially a military run organization.
