Report Says Berger Hid Archive Documents (under a construction trailer)
Associated Press ^ | Dec 20, 2006 | LARRY MARGASAK
Posted on 12/20/2006 2:12:49 PM PST by Mr. Mojo
Former national security adviser Sandy Berger removed classified documents from the National Archives in 2003 and hid them under a construction trailer, the Archives inspector general reported Wednesday. The report was issued more than a year after Berger pleaded guilty and received a criminal sentence for removal of the documents.
Inspector General Paul Brachfeld reported that when Berger was confronted by Archives officials about the missing documents, he said it was possible he threw them in his office trash.
The report said that when Archives employees first suspected that Berger _ who had been President Clinton's national security adviser _ was removing classified documents from the Archives in the fall of they failed to notify any law enforcement agency.
Berger, who pleaded guilty to unlawfully removing and retaining classified documents, was fined $50,000, ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and was barred from access to classified material for three years.
The report said that when Berger was reviewing the classified documents in the Archives building a few blocks from the Capitol, employees saw him bending down and fiddling with something white, which could have been paper, around his ankle.
However, Archives employees did not feel at the time there was enough information to confront someone of Berger's stature, the report said.
Brachfeld reported that on one visit, Berger took a break to go outside without an escort.
"In total, during this visit, he removed four documents ... .
"Mr. Berger said he placed the documents under a trailer in an accessible construction area outside Archives 1 (the main Archives building)."
Berger acknowledged that he later retrieved the documents from the construction area and returned with them to his office.
Berger, with the authorization of former President Clinton, was reviewing National Security Council documents on Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida, Sudan, and related presidential correspondence. The review was to facilitate Berger's impending testimony before the House and Senate intelligence committees.
This infuriates me to no end. I used to work with documents of the same high classification. If I were to do the same, I'd be making little rocks out of big ones at Leavenworth. Yet this jerk gets off essentially scott-free. He should NEVER have access to classified material ever again.
Launching tubes for missiles found
Wednesday, December 20, 2006
At least three tubes that are used to launch military-grade missiles were found Tuesday at a moving company on Interstate 65 Service Road West in Mobile, authorities said. No missiles were found, police said, and no one was injured.
Members of the Mobile Police Department's bomb squad were called to Paulk's Moving at 2051 I-65 Service Road West on Tuesday afternoon after employees found a "suspicious package," police spokesman Officer Eric Gallichant said.
At least three tubes used to launch missiles were uncovered in a shipping container at the business, Gallichant said. Authorities were still trying to determine who shipped the tubes to whom, Gallichant said. The investigation was turned over to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Communiqué from the Animal Rights Militia
Date: December 14, 2006
Institution targeted: POM Juice
received anonymously
in a well coordinated action, 487 bottles of pom wonderful juices were tampered with along the Eastern seaboard in stores like wlld oats, d'agostino's and food emporiums. those who drink the contaminated juice won't die like the animals in pom labs, but the diarrhea, vomiting and headaches will hopefully send a strong message that people will no longer allow innocent defenseless animals to be tormented and killed for a health juice and to line the pockets of profiteers who dont have feelings for those weaker than they are.
at pom one week old baby mice are deprived of oxygen and then their brains cut open and rabbits have their arteries severed so they get erectile dysfunction so that pom wonderful can make money off the pain and suffering inflicted on animals inside the pom wonderful labs.
lynda resnik may have thought she designed a wonderful shaped bottle for her pomegranate juice, but the one week old mice and rabbits who scream in pain, don't think its so pom wonderful. if you want to continue selling juice thats made from the blood of suffering animals lynda, we suggest you come up with a better tamper proof seal.
if people who want to hold a sign and shout to get out the truth out about whats happening inside places that confine and inflict pain and cruelty on animals are being thrown in jail and harrassed by the government, we will fight that much harder from the underground where its safer than holding a sign and yelling the truth. thanks to feinstein and inhoff and the stupid animal enterprise terrorist law that violates the principles that this country is supposed to be founded on, more and more activists like us will choose to retreat into the shadows and fight for the animals underground since the government is making it impossible to do the kinds of things that those who came before us did to oppose injustice, oppression and exploitation.
just because animals cant vote , cant hold a sign or cant lobby and give you dirty money, that doesnt mean that you will be allowed to treat them with disrespect, contempt and then kill them.
this century there are people who care about animals and the earth and will say no to the evil and injustice done to animals, no to the companies that put money and greed above compassion and respect for animals and no to a government that allows animals to be subjected to pain, suffering and death because the animals can't pick up a sign and scream out for themselves.

Yeah, sure was hoping he was worm food, but we'd have heard rumblings of that. So now we know for sure.
You're welcome.
I like checking if there's a pattern to the messages, but I don't see any.
I was thinking of you just yesterday!
Glad to see you posting.
Sometimes, if we don't see a pattern immediately; we might later on. Always good to document those things.
You're right, Cindy.
We at TM don't misunderstand or 'misunderestimate' Zawahiri.
