Now if his name was Nixon he would be a crook.

Fat chance. He has Democratic immunity.

Any mere citizen would be thrown in jail for life after they were prosecuted under the Patriot Act.
Bush looses more creditability by letting the Justice Department cut this deal with this thief.

I was dismayed that his security clearance will be suspended for only three years. If they're not going to give him jail time, they should at least (fer cryin' out loud) refuse to ever let him near sensitive material again! The man is a menace.
(And I'm sure everyone is here is, like me, simply SHOCKED that it wasn't "inadvertant"--NOT!)

Berger purloined all draft revisions of a key critique of the government's response
to the millennium terrorism threat, a document that detailed Administration knowledge
and inaction regarding al Qaeda presence in the U.S. in 1999
and 2000. Stolen were crucial notes in the margins of these drafts
which reveal the thinking and agendas of the
Clinton Administration relating to the mounting terrorist threat.

Berger was not qualified as NSA.
He was a millionaire lawyer and lobbyist with a career centered on expanding trade with China.

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh opined that
Burger was a public-relations hack, interested in how something would play in the press .
The New Yorker, per http://www.nationalreview.com/lowry/lowry200311030753.asp
Dick Morris noted Berger seemed to work overtime
at opposing tough measures against terror,
advising vetoes of legislation aimed at crippling Iranian terror funding
and working to block antiterror sanctions.
Wall Street Journal, "While Clinton Fiddled", Dick Morris, http://www.opinionjournal.com/forms/printThis.html?id=95001824
Berger repeatedly rebuffed Sudanese offers to hand Osama bin Laden
to the United States in a deal brokered by a $900,000 contributor to Democrat campaigns.

Source 2 - Washington Times, "Miniter Responds", Richard Miniter
Berger allowed bin Laden and his top lieutenants to escape to Afghanistan.

Berger was singled-out by UN Inspector Scott Ritter for the collapse of UN inspections efforts in Iraq].
"Endgame: Solving the Iraq Problem - Once and for All" by Scott Ritter
Berger admitted that the Clinton Administration failed to develop a war plan to fight al Qaeda
National Review, "Warning B.S.", Rich Lowry
Berger was the "go-to" man regarding China policy
when Communist Chinese money was being funneled into Democrat Party coffers
in exchange for policy concessions, strategic nuclear technology,
and all pending patent applications at the US Patent Office.
The Hill, "Fundraiser resurfaces from 1996", Sam Dealey
Berger stonewalled the Energy Department about Chinese spying in Los Alamos for three years.

I'm surprised the Burglar King admitted to ANYTHING. He still would have been let off easy by our co-opted judicial system.
Well, maybe in addition to the slap on the wrist he received, he would have had to wear an ankle bracelet for 10 days if he hadn't fessed up to at least something.
That is, if they could fit one around his ankle.

His admission kept him out of jail.
This way he cannot be pleading his innocence.

His admission kept him out of jail.The problem is, it wouldn't keep you or me out of jail,
and his "punishment" is a joke.

I wonder which TV Network will be the first to interview this lying "Clinton devotee and protector" S-- for his view and opinion on the next US foreign affair or event.

Pres. Bush's "prosecutors": "Don't worry Sandy, will make sure it's only a misdemeanor it you cop a plea, would not want to ruin the integrity of the Executive Branch".

The prAna Recon Stretch Pant begs to be worn to the crag on cool days. The robust Recon Stretch Pant's heavyweight 11 oz. Bedford corduroy construction is blended with 2% lycra to give it a slight stretch, plenty for a scramble approach or a tricky move. Ergonomic front and lower leg panels and an asymmetrical rear pocket add style, while a zip fly, brass rivets, and quick-release belt system finish it off.

What happened to all of the Watergate burglars? What were some of their sentences?
Sandy Burglar should be doing hard time as well! His crimes could have affected an election, too. If prison time was good enough for Watergater's, then it's good enough for him as well. WHEN IS OUR SIDE GOING TO STAND UP? (Sorry for shouting, but this angers me!) This was more than saving Clinton's legacy. This was a serious crime!!!!!

My lord, that's a frightening picture!!
She had to have been pregnant.
There's no other way anyone would have married her looking like that (especially not a skirt-chasing swine like him).
She was probably already headed towards "default*" lesbianism (*in my experience, most real-life lesbians [as opposed to Playboy Channel lesbians] are so ugly and nasty that they had to default because no man will have them).
Bill certainly looks like his "gin blossom" nose is already developing.
As to Sandy Berger.
He was always a marginally qualified sycophant, who would do anything of BC's bidding.
That he would knowingly destroy classified documents only serves to reinforce Gary Aldrich's longstanding assertions of the whole lot of them.
That he would now admit it leads one to the reasonable belief that he knew in advance that if caught, certain influential people would cover for him.
That certainly sounds like conspiracy to me.
Soldier of Fortune magazine did a very nice expose on Mr. Berger while they were still in office. If you can find the old back-issue, it makes for some enlightening reading.
Berger is the embodiment of a "C-student" in a Grade-A job.

Researchers who work the National Archives are perfectly aware of the penalties that can be prescribed in case of theft. With this slap on the wrist autography hunters are going to have a field day purloining archived material.
