Nice of the media to report on it right before Chistmas. Everybody can forget about it and the media can claim to have covered it.

"What did Sandy Berger know and when did he know it?"

Oops, wrong administration....

The one question that Hillary Clinton should be asked at every whistle stop on her campaign is "What is Sandy Berger hiding?" She claims her time as First-Lady as part of the experience that prepared her for the Senate, ergo Presidency. So, she was there when the deals were being done. What's he hiding?

If this was a Republican theft, Sandy Berger would be a resident of Ft. Leavenworth by now. This issue cannot be brought up enough because future national security could be riding on the very papers that he destroyed.

Did Bill make a deal with Bin Laden to protect the US during his watch? Was his administration aware of an airplane plot scenario and didn't tell the incoming Bush people? What is so important that this man had to risk his fortune and future to protect the Clinton's?

The media's not intersted in this story. For the liberal/leftist media it depends on whose ox is getting gored (no pun intended). If this had been Reagan's National Security Council head, the media would have camped out in front of his house. Of course, they did camp out in front of Richard Allen's house about the gift he had supposedly left in the safe (another jim baker hit by the way). Can you imagine how far they would have gone if Allen had stolen secret documents from the national archives? Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

And the watchdog media yawns and moves on, nothing to see here. More important to report on Nancy's coronation!

Of course the Republicans could be holding their fire for the presidential campaign by using Berger's actions to tar the presumptive Democratic nominee, right? Nah! But hey, a guy can dream can't he?

Seriously, even if this were the 'game' I wouldn't be happy about it. This goes way beyond politics. Berger should have been charged, tried & convicted. Instead he was charged & pleaded out by a Justice Department that wasn't serious about doing its job.

SCISSORS? The guy couldn't use a diamond-cut shredder?

Strips cut by scissors may be reconstructed by a patient person, as scissor cuts have distinct characteristics, much like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. But a diamond-cut shredder is much more difficult to reassemble.

Gee, I hope Sandy at least used blunt scissors, so he wouldn't injure himself while carrying them and running, should he happen to fall.

He makes an error here:

Thankfully, those operatives were far outweighed by a press more interested in journalism than anyone else’s political agenda.

Actually, they weren't. They were interested only in destroying Nixon. It looked like they were pursuing the story at all costs, but they would likely not have done so against a dim.

And we conservatives are NEVER going to get our country back until such time as we figure out how to deal effectively with the MSM!

The media is way too busy reporting on the horrible state of the economy.

Hey! What's the beef? The American people don't have a "right to know" when it comes to crimes by Democrats.

Adn the MSM proudly proclaims it is objective! Just compare and contrast the handiling of the Berger Affair with the media orgasms over the non-issue Wilson Affair (non-issue because his wife was not a covert operative!). Disgusting! Other than active al Quaeda terrorists, the MSM is the most dangerous enemy the United States of America faces today!

"What is so important that this man had to risk his fortune and future to protect the Clinton's?"

A more relevant question would be, why did Bush's Attorney General accept a plea bargain with a slap on the wrist for this traitor? And why does Bush refuse to pardon the two border patrolmen that were prosecuted so vigorusly for doing their jobs. They got 11yrs and 12yrs respectively in prison while this traitor got a slap on the wrist.

"....most of us were unaware of just how premeditated had been his cloak and dagger exercises."

Bunk. Not this part of "most of us". I've got this great bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell to anyone who thought this was just a foolish mistake.

It's not just the MSM. It is the brain-dead fawning lazy uncaring spineless GOP.

This crime of Burger's is above an beyond the minutes of blank tape in the Nixon years. I think Sandy Burger should be strung up until he comes clean on just what was so important on the documents he stole. Accountability for his actions, why isn't this happening??

Because the mainstream media doesn't give a rat's butt, that's why.

As I understand it, he gets his security clearance back just in time to step into a position in the next potential democrat administration.
