The commission said Wednesday that it had requested about 1,000 pages of Clinton administration counterterror documents held by the White House that Bush aides had not released because of “inadvertent” error or because they were not originally requested by the panel.

Lawyers for the commission reviewed 10,800 pages of classified documents from the Clinton administration this week after Bruce Lindsey, who was Clinton’s legal adviser, said officials did not turn over all of Clinton’s records.

No kidding, Bruce. Maybe because they were stuffed in Berger's pants.

I want to see all those pundits who defended Berger as just being "sloppy" eat crow. I have a long list of those people, and I look forward to seeing them humiliated.

I remember Bruce Lindsey raising a stink over the Bush administration supposedly withholding Clinton-era docs from the commission.

Predictably, Bruce put out the spin and the media hopped to, reporting his version as if it were carved in stone.

Later it turned out the "1000's" of pages were duplicates and the commission found like 12 pages they kept in addition to the papers they had *previously* received.

It was yet more evidence, to my thinking, that the idea of a commission was crafted as a vehicle for an attack on President Bush in the first place. One of my first pieces of evidence of my case is the leaking of the existance of that August 2001 PDB that was mischaracterized as "Bush Knew" we were about to be attacked with airplanes. That PDB was used to flog the commission into existance. From there, we know the rest and we watched that cast of characters; BenVeniste, Roemer, Kerrey, Gorelick, (and our own "let's be fair and hear all looneytunes crackpot theories so we're not called haters!" Republicans like Kean) in horror.

The reason Berger was at the Archives at all was for this Commission.

Don't forget .. Sandy Pants took not only they drafts of but also the originals

Makes it kind of hard to release documents that were no longer there

And wasn't it nice of the Dems to blame the Bush Admin for delaying information to the 9/11 panel ... / sarcasm >

Jamie Gorelick was in charge of deciding which documents to request. I was shocked when I heard one of the commission memebers on a talking head show say that she was so well qualified for this task....talk about the fox guarding the henhouse!
