'DOCS IN SOCKS' BERGER RAPPED
By DEBORAH ORIN
September 7, 2005
WASHINGTON The feds yesterday recommended that former Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger get at least a year's probation and do community service but no jail time for stealing top-secret memos and lying about it.
Berger pleaded guilty last April to taking the documents and reportedly hiding them in his pants and socks from the National Archives while vetting them to refresh his memory before testifying before the 9/11 commission.
He's to be sentenced tomorrow.
The memos were versions of a report that Berger ordered on the millennium bombing plot. ...

So, does this mean anyone can go into the National Archives and take things with only the threat of probation hanging over them? I bet there are lots of neat stuff that would fetch a good price on ebay.... or the Chinese Embassy.
To: Libloather
One year of probation. For compartmented information.
Expect to hear from the Pollard supporters. And they'll be right.
To: MamaLucci
That would be the Just Us Department.

"I hope the community service part includes ritual suicide. He should be hung like the traitor he is."
Any Non-Royal would be doing hard time for this. As far as community service goes, the restrooms in the Superdome need a good scrubbing.

Why isn't this man getting time? It's a simple enough question?
To: Libloather
a year's probation and do community serviceAnd exactly what community service is this pant load qualified to perform? I'll answer my own question. The only thing he is qualified to do is teach a class in junior college entitled "How to become a political whore and wear a $900 dollar suit." This steaming pile is disgusting.

Berger should do time. Serious time.
at least as much as the Watergate burglars - if he brought a razor blade into that NARA reading room and stole documents according to Society of American Archivists standards that was BURGLARY of the peoples property.
To: Libloather
I question the timing of this...

The feds yesterday recommended
who/what Feds? In my training I learned that kiping from an archives ort special collections is BURGLARY! Who is it precisely that is recommending the pardon?
To: Libloather
Let me guess...his community service will be going to LA to help Blanco review documents and prepare for her congressional testimony.
To: kittymyrib
What would you or I get if we stole top-secret government documents?
Sir, in some country's you would be hanged
To: Alissa
To: Keith in Iowa
One wonders if they cancelled his security clearance. Anyone know? Could he get back in the Archives for more felonious sock and jock-filling?
To: Libloather
Didn't Martha Stewart get 5 months for lying about some stock transactions that weren't even found to be illegal?
Shouldn't the penalty for stealing and destroying classified documents and then lying about it receive a slightly larger sentence?
