Mr. Berger's tactics at the Archives were to obfuscate exactly which and how many documents he'd had in his grimy little hands:

"He used the pretext of making and receiving private phone calls to get time alone with confidential material, although rules governing access dictated that someone from the Archives staff must be present. He took bathroom breaks every half-hour to provide further opportunity to remove and conceal documents."
"he reviewed collections of confidential memos, e-mails, and handwritten notes, including materials taken from counter-terrorism adviser Richard Clarke's office - all of which were not catalogued at the individual item level."

Thanks for the info.

He used the pretext of making and receiving private phone calls to get time alone

Making calls I can understand if he left the room and the documents, but if he was reviewing materials in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facitity (where such docs are usually opened), then he should not have had a phone with him to receive calls. Something just doesn't ring true.
