If not the most skillful of embezzlers, Samuel "Sandy" Berger is a far more formidable character than the media would have us believe. When he made his now-storied sorties into the National Archives, he risked his career and his reputation in so doing, and he knew it. Rest assured, he would not have done so were the secrets to be preserved not worth the risk of pilfering them.
True to form, the major media refuse to even ask the most fundamental question: Just what secrets would justify so much personal exposure? Having read the report on Berger by the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, I am more confident than ever that I know the answer.
The House report makes clear, Berger did not exactly welcome this assignment. This confirms my suspicions. The archivists told the committee, in fact, that Berger "indicated some disgust with the burden and responsibility of conducting the document review." ...............................
Understandably, the 9/11 Commission was very concerned about who knew what when in regards to the use of planes as bombs. Bush National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice was asked on her first real question: "Did you ever see or hear from the FBI, from the CIA, from any other intelligence agency, any memos or discussions or anything else between the time you got into office and 9-11 that talked about using planes as bombs?"
Rice said no. She was likely telling the truth. Clarke had acknowledged as much during his earlier testimony. He admitted that the "knowledge about al-Qaida having thought of using aircraft as weapons" was relatively old, "5 years, 6 years old." He asked that intelligence analysts "be forgiven for not thinking about it given the fact that they hadn't seen a lot in the five or six years intervening about it."

I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Washington Post and New York Times in depth investigations.

Please don't tell me you're holding your breath.
It is so depressing to read this and know that he got away with it!
Only if the truth is revealed.
And with both Clinton and Bush covering it up, don't count on that happening.
Sure and Carl Rove had a surprise for October of 2006...

I google Sandy Berger once or twice a week to see if anyone cares.
The media bias is so one sided it turns my stomach.
Was anyone able to acces the full story, link not working?
The whole WND site is having problems looks like
In the days after 911 both Steponallofus and Kerrytchup said during interviews that the 911 event was similar to the terrorist shootdown of TWA 800.
I believe that Bubba and Bubbaette wouldn't want this to come out if their power grab is to succeed in 08!

Do you think that she is prolonging whether she will toss her
hat into the ring because of fear there is still something there?
Seems she is prolonging as to whether she is going to run or not to me.
If a Republican has anything on her, he or she wouldn't have the nerve to use it, nor the brains!!!!!
Not I. Perhaps someone could post the rest of it. I don't think WND will mind.
Why the president hasn't pursued some of the actions of the Clinton years??
Does skull and bones ring any bells?
The trouble is NOW
this topic will be seen as
"World Nuts Daily" crap
and the mainstream press
and serious bloggers won't
want to mess with it.
The Wall Street Journal
hasn't forgotten Berger
or the story's spin.
But if tin foil nuts
turn this into a crusade
the Journal might bolt . . .

I agree, but I learned a long time ago not to reject the simplest explanation out of hand. It's hard not to in this case, but I've still got to wonder.
"Watch an apellate judge nomination named Hillman from NJ."
I can see where being soft on Washington politicos would make you a good candidate for a Federal judgeship.
Can you come up with anything on that that can be shown? I'd love to have the video to show some liberal weenies.
If Sandy Burgler were acting on behalf of a Republican ex-president, I'd agree. We'd hear about it night after night on the news and on Chrissie Fit Matthew's Softballs, and on every Sunday News program as every angle is covered ad nauseum.
But for the Clintoons, it's a single story, then a free pass for life.
