He said he later threw the tapes away in a lab trash bin.
Yawn... Last weeks news to us out here. Same old sloppy accountability for classified info. Nothings changed from the Clinton years. It was better when you couldn't go up the hill to the town -- it was all off limits until the fifties and the single road had a guardshack.
