WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger was sentenced Thursday to community service and probation and fined $50,000 for illegally removing highly classified documents from the National Archives and intentionally destroying some of them.
Berger must perform 100 hours of community service and pay the fine as well as $6,905 for the administrative costs of his two-year probation, a district court judge ruled.>p> "I deeply regret the actions that I took at the National Archives two years ago, and I accept the judgment of the court," Berger said outside the courthouse after his sentencing.

That should make our country safer.
I'll bet you do, traitor..
ping for later viewing
I wonder if Bill and Hill will be paying the fine for him?
Sandy Berger stole our history... and Bush lets him walk.
Guess he'd stuff all the trash in his pants as well.
Hmmm. What about coughing up the documents you stole? And coming clean about why you stole them (i.e. - who are you protecting?)? Hmmmm????????
So Burger pay $50K for actually doing something wrong, something aggravated by the fact that it probably conceals other wrongdoing, and Libby pays $250K and get 30 months for having an incomplete recollection. Yeah, Begala, I’d say there’s a double standard.
I don’t seem to recall Olbermann complaining that this was too light a sentence. Must of missed his show that day...
BUMP!
Sandy Berger stole our history... and Bush lets him walk.
WHAT!!!
When the director of the National Archives found out that Berger was being investigated by the FBI for stealing classified documents, the director’s first call went to.... Bruce Lindsey.
That National Archives director was subsequently fired, but many suspect that before he left he likely destroyed the originals at Lindsey’s request.
50k? What a joke. He’ll give one paid speech and some Clinton cronies will pay the bill for him.
WHAT!!!
Guess you missed the FOX special... how Bush and Gonzales let Berger skate.
I wonder if Bill and Hill will be paying the fine for him?
Of course. Slick can make $50,000 in 5 minutes making a speech before a group of morons.
-Not-
Libby's sentence vs. this travesty.
They could of in every right sent his ass to Gitmo for what he did. Oh, lets fine him 50K instead. That will send a positive message to the public.
