Burgler should be doing time.

[Wilhelm Tell]

The plea bargain is not only a bargain for the Burglar, it also means that there will be no trial that might raise questions about, I don't know -- maybe the Clintons. Now no troublesome questions will be asked and the whole affair can disappear. That is some slick justice.

>...plead guilty to a misdemeanor, and will acknowledge intentionally removing and destroying copies of a classified document...<

"misdemeanor"!?!?!
If I did that I would be in prison for AT LEAST 10 years!

[aShepard]

As I stated on another thread yesterday.....

Someone's gotta' continually check Burgler's bank account!

There ain't no way that he's going to take the fall for the rest of his life for removing stuff that would damage Bubba's legacy.

He's being paid off, for sure! BIG TIME!

[Libloather]

...he shredded them with a pair of scissors late one evening at the downtown offices of his international consulting business.

Martha Stewart did time for less...

[hgro]

You are right, but his handlers, Zipperless Bill and file loser Hillary should be the two others that are charged and imprisoned for their blatant illegal activities that would fill an Encyclopedia Britannica.

[InterceptPoint]

Has there been any determination on the key issue in this case:

Did Berger manage to destroy THE ORIGINAL AND ALL COPIES of any of the documents?

That was clearly his intention.

[Popman]

He accepts complete responsibility for his actions, and regrets the mistakes he made during his review of documents at the National Archives."

You think if "I" did what Berger did, I'll be $10,000 lighter and have my national security clearance wanked for three years?

These FBI files the Clinton's have must be real juicy to keep get him off the hook so easily.

[thoughtomator]

He should hang for this, this is treason pure and simple. This is making a total mockery of national security.

[moose2004]

Rat scum!

[hosepipe]

Whats, "I'm Uniter'er not a divider". MEAN.?...
Immunity for democrats.. National Security is a JOKE...

But I'm not laughing..
And the Mexican border is a runway for Mexican Drug Lords..<<- Mex gov't...

[Ben Hecks]

If Berger were a Republican, we would be treated to the following media circus over the next two weeks:

- Daily above-the-fold newspaper articles containing details of the theft of the documents.

- Explanations of government document security classifications and why the theft of top secret documents poses such a grave threat to our country.

- Interviews with Republican officials asking them if they would continue to support Mr. Berger and the administration.

- An increasing volume of stories and articles pointing out that "this goes all the way to the top" and "what does the President know?"

- How the theft and destruction of these documents prevented the 911 Commission from completing a thorough review of the events leading to Sep. 11, 2001.

- Expressions of outrage at the minimal sentence given to Mr. Berger with suggestions of cover-up.

- Interviews with Democrats calling for the resignation of the President.

BILL CLINTON refused 3 No-Strings Offers from the Sudan during the 1990's to give us our proven No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN on a Silver Platter.

BILL CLINTON's White House Pointman on these 3 Offers=

The Enemy is now Within...
and always has been =

SANDY BERGER

...while BILL CLINTON just laughs away at US in the Media.

[AlGone2001]

Covering for himself, Clinton or both?

Will the 9/11 Commission Members (i.e., Gorelick) get on the air and berate him, like they did Rice?

Of course not.

[Faith-Hope]

Martha got prison time for lining her pockets with a little extra cash.

Sandy destroyed National Security Documents and gets his hands spanked.

Our Justice System needs a overhaul.

He looks a 'rat, smells like a 'rat and acts like a 'rat.

From THE DAY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA DIED (tune: American Pie) -- on YOU'VE BEEN FREEPED, Vol. 1

We were singing, bye, bye to Old Media, bye
It was quite a run but you are done and now it won't fly
New Media's here, so be a big girl, don't cry
We were laughing as Old Media died...laughing as Old Media died
Would they do what's right? They're saying, "NO, never"...they thought they were just so very clever
They thought they'd get away with it
Docs were found down in Sandy Berger's pants...and Dan Rather thought he'd take a chance
With those forgeries now George Bush he would get
Dan used them and he was elated...but Bush is misunderestimated
Thanks to a group of sleepers...pajama-wearing FReepers
So Dan Rather's plan would fail...Ken's frequency was now in a jail
A happy ending to this tale
Old Media would die

[philman_36]

Because there were some facts out there that were so damning, Sandy Berger was willing to break the law to make sure the public never saw them.
This makes no sense at all as the article states twice that everything taken was a copy.
...three of the five copies he took from the archives...
...Berger put a copy of the Clarke report ... (just which Clark report was it and where can the public view it at?)
If there were "damning facts" contained in these "copies" then they were/are still available for viewing by the public and should've been aired during The 9/11 Commission's precedings.
Why steal only copies of documents when stealing the original and all of the copies of those documents would be required to keep them from the public's view.
Berger had to know that. This just doesn't add up.

[NEBUCHADNEZZAR1961]

Notice how the press, MSM that is, doesn't care to even hypothesize what information those documents contained? Notice how they don't bother to ponder why Berger did it?
Hmmmm...very interesting.
