I am proud of my President today....Sandy Berger gets a slap on the wrist for stealing and destroying classified material and Scooter Libby gets 3 years for different recollections with regards to a he said/he said conversation with a slime reporter (if you want to call Tim Russert a reporter). But what does one expect - Berger is a Dim and Libby is a Republican.

Very good move by the President, but his Administration's earlier "slap on the wrist" treatment for Sandy Burglar raises even more disgust--you know it and I know it.

We shouild name these a Sandy Berger decision. No one who commits a lesser crime than Berger should get a stricter sentence.

Anytime someone mentions disparity in dispensing justice, I use the two examples you cited. There is no comparison between sincerely having a memory lapse in regard to the content of and the order in which two conversations took place years before and a true criminal who STOLE/HID/RECOVERED/DESTROYED Top Secret documents that, I truly believe, would have been harmful to the clinton administration if presented before the 9/11 Hearing Committee.

I hope that ALL of the people who should have been made to provide sworn testimony during the first trial will be forced to do so during the appeal.

Exactamento. And don't forget, there were several reporters who testified, and no one's recollection was exactly the same as the others. Libby was no more guilty than any of them. A travesty, and I'm glad to see that he's continuing his appeal.
