Minority Report
The more that comes out regarding Sandy Berger's actions in the National Archives, the more obvious it becomes that he should be in prison, not a couple of years away from regaining his security clearance. Here is an excerpt from the Oversight and Government Reform Committee minority report:
Oversight and Government Reform Committee Ranking Member Tom Davis (R-VA) released the following statement today on a committee report that sheds important new light on Sandy Berger’s theft of classified documents from the National Archives. The report makes it clear that the full extent of Mr. Berger’s document removal can never be known, and consequently the Department of Justice could not assure the 9/11 Commission that it received all responsive documents to which Mr. Berger had access.
“My staff’s investigation reveals that President Clinton’s former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger compromised national security much more than originally disclosed,” Davis said.
“It is now also clear that Mr. Berger was willing to go to extraordinary lengths to compromise national security, apparently for his own convenience.
“The 9/11 Commission relied on incomplete and misleading information regarding its access to documents Mr. Berger reviewed. No one ever told the Commission that Mr. Berger had access to original documents that he could have taken without detection.
“We now know that Mr. Berger left stolen highly classified documents at a construction site to avoid detection. We know that Mr. Berger insisted on privacy at times to allow him to conceal documents that he stole. One witness with a very high security clearance believed he saw Berger concealing documents in his socks.
If that doesn't sufficiently piss you off, follow the link and read the rest of it. It is appalling what this man has gotten away with. He should be in prison for the rest of his life. But...he's a Democrat protecting their demigod Clinton, so all is forgiven.
JASmius adds: Think the Oversight & Government Reform Committee would even allow such a report to be prepared on the next Secretary of Defense under its new management?
But what's even more appalling is that it is George W. Bush's Justice Department that let this perpetrator of the criminal cover-up of Bill Clinton's negligent complicity in the 9/11 attacks go instead of throwing the book at him - at the very time that the Left half of the 9/11 cabal was deafeningly blaming Bush for 9/11 in the middle of the latter's re-election campaign!
I've always said that "the New Tone" would be the political death of Dubya. When he gets impeached in a few months, he'll in not-so-small part have brought it on himself for dispensing, as it were, such lavish grace upon the irredeemable heathen.
