This, from CNN, was the last time Berger was in court:


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.

"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.

"I'm glad that the 9/11 commission has made clear that it received all the documents that it sought, all the documents that it needed, and I'm pleased to finally have this matter resolved," he added.

All the more reason we need to get good judges on the bench.

Who said they received all the documents they sought? Ben-Veniste and Gorelick?

How very Clintonian. The 9/11 Commission sought documents that the Archives had pertaining to 9/11. Since Sandy Berger had already taken some of the documents, the Archives didn't have them, so the 9/11 Commission did, in fact, get the documents pertaining to 9/11 that the Archives had at the time the Commission asked for them, just as Sandy said.

The Commission just didn't get all the documents that EXISTED about 9/11. I wonder who sent Sandy to the archives, and directed him on just which documents to take?
