That sounds like a light sentence until you recall the Sandy Berger casee.
It gives me a headaches thinking about Berger.
I'm trying to imagine whether a retired Col. Berger, and former adjutant to a Chairman Of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Clinton, would be doing time in jail or not, if caught doing "espionage" and classfied document destruction for that former Chairman.
I think the answer is "Hello Leavenworth."
In other words, a military officer caught in the same circumstances as Berger would have received a jail sentence.
And quite clearly, they do go to jail.
