No, it is not treason.

Just political gamesmanship run amock.

The Democrats are not concerned about national security, unless they are in charge of it; in which case they would still sell it for campaign bucks from the Chicoms if necessary.

"BTW...I heard Bob Novak on the interview will Wolfie say that he KNEW, without a doubt, that Saddam did NOT have WMDs, and therefore Bush was totally wrong for invading Iraq.. When Wolf asked him how he could be so positive, when Bush obviously was told there were...Novak said his "sources" were better."

Sounds to me like good ole Bob has friends in Russia or Syria. If he "knows" the WMDs weren't in Iraq, he also probably knows where they were hidden. Fess up, Mr. Novak.

Facts, truth, and editorial opinions are the basis of the new media.
The liberal left media is ammoral and distorts facts, reports lies and half truths, and slanders honest men consistenly.
It is about time the Justice Dept. holds those liars and leakers to the established laws concerning libel and slander.

Novak sure likes to brag about his "sources", but then never has to answer for what he says/prints they say...and he is made to name them...

THAT is my gripe about the Shield Laws these journalists want...they can site "unidentified sources"...and ruin a politicians career...and never have to account for it..

WHICH, IMHO...makes them more dangerous, with more power than any one in the USA..including the POTUS...

scary, huh?

Excerpt from http://floppingaces.blogspot.com



The Washington Times has some thoughts:

What was Mr. Berger doing with the documents? And why did he destroy only three? The likeliest answer is that he sought to conceal comments he or other Clinton administration officials wrote on them when they were circulating in January 2000. He couldn't have been trying to erase the document itself from the record, since copies besides the five exist elsewhere. What's likelier is that jottings in the margins of the three copies he destroyed bore telling indications of the Clinton administration's approach to terrorism.

These documents he stole were different drafts of the final report. They all had handwritten margin notes on the paper which makes them all unique, not only unique but valuable since it show's the mindset of those who wrote the notes, plus what they knew and when they knew it.

More:

In particular, the Washington Post reports [2] that 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.
and

A government official with knowledge of the probe said Berger removed from archives files all five or six drafts of a critique of the government's response to the millennium terrorism threat, which he said was classified "codeword," the government's highest level of document security.

...Berger's attorneys have acknowledged that he removed numerous classified memos, and apparently discarded some, as he reviewed materials on behalf of the Clinton administration for the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. They said the removal of documents was inadvertent but that Berger was aware he was violating the law when he removed his handwritten notes without submitting them for review by National Archives staff.

I think the Novak bashing needs to stop. Novak is a good guy, and that will be clear in the coming year.

"Not only that. An "Authorization to use force" plus the inherent Presidential Powers as Commander in Cheif make this whole "NSA Easedropping" Media circus a complete NON story to anyone who bothers to be even remotely informed about the matter"

For the most part I agree with you, except that I think the leak part of the NSA eavesdropping is a story and shows the hypocrisy of the old media and the Dems. Most people understand "spying" when it relates to protecting the citizenry.
