After three days worth of denials from his legal team, eyewitnesses to Sandy Berger's top secret document heist have confirmed that the former national security advisor did indeed stash national security secrets in his socks, as well as his pants pockets. "The stuffed socks and pockets is real," a senior law enforcement official told the New York Daily News. "The (theft) was reported by the guards." Guards at the National Archives told the FBI that Berger was observed stuffing his socks with handwritten notes about files he reviewed that were going to the Sept. 11 panel, the News said. Guards...

KERRY'S SUDDENLY DISAPPEARING WEB DOCUMENTS Various Kerry Spot readers are calling attention to the fact that the Kerry web site appears to have removed the press release that used to be here: http://www.johnkerry.com/pressroom/releases/pr_2004_0227a.html But can still be seen in the Google cache here, and has been posted on the FreeRepublic.com discussion board here: The date of the event is February 27, 2004. The event was a speech at UCLA about homeland security, mentioning port security and airline security. Now, Kerry wouldn't need any secret documents from March 2000 to make a speech saying port and airline security should be improved...

If Berger was stealing classified information from the National Archives, ostensibly to help his party, either Kerry's election bid or clinton's so-called 'legacy', how does this compare to Watergate? Watergate was a burglery of DNC offices looking for information to help Nixon purportedly. So how does this rank?

.The GapSandy Berger's pilfering of papers from the archive should be big trouble for the Democrats. Why is the press AWOL?by Hugh Hewitt07/22/2004 12:00:00 AMHERE ARE the two key sentence from yesterdays Washington Post: "[Sandy] Berger returned two of the after-action drafts within days, according to his attorneys. Other drafts of the after-action document, they said, were apparently discarded." As any lawyer who has ever argued over the contents of a brief knows, the stuff that gets left out can be the most telling material of all--indicative of prejudices and priorities, sensitivities and credibility. Berger's sticky fingers have left a...

I haven't watched CBS News in 15 years, but happened to catch a clip of Dan Rather's announcement of the Berger resignation, and was shocked at the undisguised partisanship of Mr. Rather. He stated that the Berger resignation was prompted by a "carefully orchestrated" set of manuevers, in effect blaming Republicans, while not even mentioning the fact that Mr. Berger was caught stealing documents from the National Archives. It's pathetic that CBS has been reduced to this low level. I can't find the transcript on the internet. Does anyone have it?

Joe Lockhart claims ex-aide didn't hide secret docs in his hose Former colleagues of Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger challenged allegations that the ex-aide stuffed classified documents in his socks to remove them from a secure reading room prior to his 9-11 Commission testimony. Federal officials have launched a criminal investigation into the former aide, who now advises Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, for pocketing highly classified terrorism documents. Though Fox News is reporting Berger and his lawyer said last night he knowingly removed handwritten notes by placing them in his jacket, pants and socks, CNN reports law-enforcement sources...

Terror-threat paper at center of criminal probe not shared with incoming Bush administration In testimony before the 9-11 Commission in April, Attorney General John Ashcroft pointed to a National Security Council document now at the center of the FBI's investigation of former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, urging the panel to ask why its warnings and "blueprint" to thwart al-Qaida's plans to target the U.S. were ignored by the Clinton administration and not shared with the incoming Bush security staff. Drafts of the sensitive NSC "Millennium After Action Review" on the Clinton administration's handling of al-Qaida terror threats during the...

Let's have some good liberal/democratic and conservative/republican answers. I guess I will have to compile 2 different lists.

My, my, how are the democrats going to spin this mess? This investigation has been ongoing for months, and yet Kerry kept Berger on his team. NOW Berger resigns, obviously under pressure. But Team Kerry was saying that there was absolutely no reason for Berger to quit or get fired right up until he resigned. Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., when asked whether Kerry should dump Berger, the former rival said, "That's up to John Kerry, but I'm sure he will stay on the team unless there's some charges that are proven that leads Senator Kerry to do otherwise." it's not...
