"He [Berger] was just too tired and wasn't able to focus enough...He now admits that was a real mistake."

That could be the epitaph for the entire eight years of Clinton/Gore.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

This is a travishamocory. (What's really crazy is that FR spell checker says that word is okay.)

The charge carries a maximum sentence of a year in jail, but the plea agreement, which must be approved by a judge, does not call for jail time.

Calling Judge Greer, calling Judge Greer. Please exercise the remove the feeding tube option.

A liar though not as good as Michael Schiavo.

An open invitation for ex-Clinton administration criminals to harm the nation in any manner they please, whenever they desire. I think I'm beginning to see the major Bush administration weakness--the fear that their enemies on the left will accuse them of playing politics.

Imagine shortly after Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, some high ranking US government official steals sensitive documents that pertain to an investigation of that attack and is caught in the act. That individual would probably have faced capital punishment as a spy or saboteur.

A security clearance implies integrity.He should never be trusted again,never work in any official capacity, and all this should kick in after 20 years in prison.

He deserves the maximum penalty. There's no way someone with his national security background does this kind of thing by "mistake".

And just who is it that would want to restore his clearance?? This could/MUST be the subject of another unquiry. Course I realize a roomfull of PHDs won't understand at all. Gomer Pyle likely would. SHAZAM!

This sounds much more equitable than a small fine and temporary loss of his security clearance!

I just emailed the President, simply expressing My disgust over the likely outcome of this. It could be that a few more emails would indicate how seriously We take this matter.

To me this is the most important bit of information in the article: In a statement, his lawyer, Lanny Breuer, said that Mr. Berger "has cooperated fully with the Department of Justice and is pleased that a resolution appears very near. I would love to know just what was his full cooperation. Who did he give up?

He took one for the team. The people who he's protecting will hire him back into gov't in a heartbeat if we ever elect them again.

"a respected figure in foreign relations for years"

That is a crock! Yep, he got great creds under Clinton.
He arranged all the Chinese money for Clinton's campaign fund. He twiddled his thumbs over the Los Alamos nuclear secret mess, which was never solved. (Chinese, again.)

He approved when the rest of the gov't advised against sending all that rocketry computer hardware for a "test" with China, which "crashed", yet the Chinese were able to remove the secret hardware before the Americans were allowed on the crash site. (What F'ing crash? It was a give-away by Clinton for more funds.)

Berger is a traitor, by my estimation. I can't remember what's supposed to be on the documents he's pleading guilty to stealing, something "embarassing" to Clinton. Not a big deal, unless it's covering some of their traitorous activities. Hopefully, he's out for good after this one, although a misdemeanor doesn't create much baggage. His security clearance better be gone.

Do you remember Sen Jim Thompson's committee hearing on the Chinese money/Clinton campaign funding? Thompson had the goods, but Sen John Glenn, a Democrat, obstructed, protested, interrupted so much, and overpowered Thompson to the extent that the truth never came out. I believe Thompson would have been in line for president if he had been successful. Sorry to digress, but I can easily remember how mad I was.
