A massive amount of sensitive, national security-related information from the Clinton administration has gone missing from the national archives. The Inspector General of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) told congressional committee staffers Tuesday that a hard drive containing over a terabyte of information -- the equivalent of millions of books--went missing from the NARA facility in College Park, Md., sometime between October 2008 and March 2009. The Department of Justice and the Secret Service are conducting an investigation, but it's so far unclear whether the drive was lost as the result of a crime or an accident. That...

Make no mistake about it: If Hillary Clinton is elected president, her husband will be her rogue co-president, causing constant chaos, crises and conflicts for her new administration. And sometimes, that will be exactly what Hillary wants. Chaos is Bill Clinton’s signature style and he’s not about to suddenly change. No way. Nor does Hillary necessarily want him to be a new Bill. In many ways, his divisive role in her campaign has been carefully crafted by Hillary and her team. It might come in useful in the White House, too. Throughout Hillary’s campaign, Bill has given us an unfortunate...

On the matter of ABC’s “Path to 9/11” and the controversy it has produced, I have no inside knowledge of what ABC intends to do tomorrow night, but I am considering two things: 1. in all fairness I do not agree with the grouping of several real incidents into one fictitious incident and putting fake dialogue in the mouths of real people as this film is reported to do. I think former President Clinton, former Secretary Albright, former National Security Advisor (and convicted felon) Sandy Berger, along with others in the Clinton Administration, were completely incompetent

Proving that he’s just as adept at stuffing an election candidate’s coffers as he is at stuffing his own socks, Sandy Berger hosted an "almost secret" Washington fund-raiser for a recently retired three-star vice admiral last night. Vice Adm. Joseph Sestak Jr, as the Village People would say, is "In the Navy". And when you want to take an Able Danger Congressman Curt Weldon down, what better way than to send in the Navy? Berger, dubbed "Sandy Burglar" by radio meister Rush Limbaugh, gained notoriety for trying to stuff classified documents into his socks and other attire. The man, who...

Several members of President Bill Clinton’s national security team are hosting a Washington fund-raiser tonight for retired Vice Adm. Joseph Sestak Jr., the Democrat running against U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon in November. Officials at Sestak’s campaign headquarters in Media will not comment on the event, though an invitation sent out to potential donors and obtained by the Daily Times lists Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger as a host. "As a general rule, campaigns don’t comment on fund-raisers or people who hold them," said Sestak’s campaign chairman, Myles Duffy. Berger, who served as Clinton’s second-term national security adviser, pleaded guilty last year...

There's been a lot of talk over the past few years that billie-j would aspire to the office of Secretary-General of the UN.I always disputed it as a lost cause, since no member-State of the Security Council, having veto-power, could ever have one of their citizens running the show!I've been challenged by the beautiful and talented Mata Sherry to back-up my claims!Well! I spent about four hours trying to find the info on the UN website, and I can't find jack-shit!So I'm calling for help. Where is it written that the USA CANNOT put a candidate up for election to...

Desperate to undo the damage of its first review -- Michiko Kakutani described Bill Clinton's book as "eye-crossingly dull" and "self-indulgent" -- the New York Times scrambled to post on its website a positive review of the book this week. The Times found for the task Larry McMurtry, a fiction writer, a spinner of tall tales like Lonesome Dove. In other words, a peer appropriate to Bill Clinton. According to press reports, McMurtry's review wasn't supposed to appear until July, but the Times had to slap it up quickly to stop the bleeding from the Kakutani review. McMurtry hails the...

JEDDAH: Former US President Bill Clinton urged Saudi Arabia on Monday to push ahead with reforms, saying the deeply conservative Muslim kingdom could not fight the "tide of change". In a challenge to traditionalists in the birthplace of Islam, where women cannot drive and say they are marginalised, Clinton said if cars had been around 1,400 years ago Prophet Mohammad would have let his wife get behind the wheel. "He probably would have made Saudi Arabia the first automobile producing nation on earth and put her in charge of the business," Clinton told a conference in Saudi Arabia 's Red...

This has probably been discussed many times before, so I apologize in advance if I am beating a dead horse. Just recently I had discussions with a couple of individuals concerning Clinton. The first person made the claim that Clinton is an intelligent person and to back it up, he put forth Clinton's ability to get into Georgetown, and then continue on. The other person wanted to know just how exactly Clinton got into Georgetown. Who sponsored this guy? How did someone from such dirt-poor, white-trash beginnings, get accepted into Georgetown, accepted into the Rhodes Scholar program, and then from...

Wednesday, November 06, 2002, 12:00 a.m. PacificWhat's 'real' sex? Kids narrow definition, put themselves at risk It's a taboo topic, but one that parents, educators and health-care providers have been discussing quietly for the past couple of years and with a greater degree of urgency. Many teenagers — and even children as young as middle school — are having oral sex. Some of them don't think of it as real sex. And many are unaware that it can be dangerous. Things every teen — and parent — should know • While the risk of contracting most sexually transmitted diseases...
