So what was in these missing files? Trying to get us back on topic here... does anybody know what they contained, or is it all speculation at this point?

WASHINGTON ? Former President Clinton's national security adviser is under criminal investigation for taking highly classified terrorism documents that should have been turned over to the independent commission probing the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, FOX News has confirmed.

You could have proof of John Kerry clubbing a baby seal and it would still turn into an anti Bush thread.

Let's keep these things on topic.

I doubt the guy would steal documents that weren't relavtive. Most probably he had some incentive to take them. They don't just accidentally get hidden in his clothing. My best guess is that he was covering his own ass, or the ass of a friend. That seems apparent to me, but since they are now "accidentally discarded" that will be hard to prove.

In my opinion, I would put him in jail. Make an example out of him so the next guy doesn't do it. That sort of thing is reprehensible behavior, and it has nothing to do with George Bush.

Let me spell this out for you if you don't think this is a big deal.

Sandy Berger, Clinton's National Security Advisor, is called before the 9/11 Commission, perhaps one of the most important investigatory bodies this country has ever seen. Who screwed up and how is very important to discern. A big part of that is what did the Clinton administaration know and when did they know it. What recommendations were made and which were followed and which ignored and why. Also, who made these recommendations. Berger's testimony is huge to this enterprise, obviously.

So, on the grounds that he needs to have his memory refreshed, he is given access to the archives of confidential material. No documents are allowed to be removed, copied, or photographed. At all, under penalty of prosecution. It is a crime. I'm not even sure he was supposed to take notes. He was the National Security Advisor, he knows this. So he stuffs documents in his pants pertaining to recommendations made about how to respond to Al Qaeda. He gets caught with some but others have miraculously disappeared. He says, "I inadvertently took a few documents from the archives. He says, "I deeply regret the sloppiness involved." This asshole was chosen to be the National Security Advisor and he pleads SLOPPINESS. "I'm sorry, your honor, I was too drunk to see the stoplight when I plowed into that family." Let's not forget Deutch, who I think was head of the CIA before Tenet. He was about to accept a plea bargain for removing classified files on his laptop when Clinton gave him one of those midnight pardons.

The least of what Berger did was remove the documents. What he really did was impede the most important investigation this nation has ever seen. And he was formerly charged with the whole oversight of our national security just before the attacks. If you don't think this is a huge deal you are ignorant.

Another little sidebar is that the NY Times and Washington Post both buried this story deep inside. Front page material for the Times is an article about how trend setters are not tucking in their shirts.

I like your little sidebar about the Times and the Post.

Imagine an alternate world where Rummy, the VP, Rice or Wolfowitz was under investigation for having stolen and destroyed classified documents relating to national defense.

That wouldn't be a front page story. That would be at least two dozen front pages stories. They would continue to hype every effort of the investigation and constantly look for new angles.

I feel sorry for the Old Gray Lady. I used to read it more often because I loved the international and in-depth coverage of all sorts of issues. They have bureaus all over the world and they have some really brilliant journalists. The NYT gets to pick the best of the best in the business. They have more resources than anyone. I didn't mind that they were left leaning back in the day because anyone growing up in this country has done so on a steady diet of liberal bias in the national news media. But at this point, partisan politics has so permeated their pages it is pathetic. How is that for a little alliteration?

Too often what they don?t cover is more telling than what they do. I think that they have lost a lot of credibility.

They, The Times, have hurt themselves badly. Anyway, this just in from WABC radio, Berger has removed himself as an advisor to the Kerry campaign. Inevitable step now that this has come out. However, he has been under investigation since I think January for this. Does anybody here think Kerry didn't know about this and use him anyway? Is this what we can expect from Kerry appointees, that they can do anything as long as they don't get caught?

Kerry's just another douche-bag politician, what should we expect from him?


--------------------
To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.'  Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence.  Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains.  Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

It would be tough for Kerry to know about every Federal investigation, even when it is someone on his own staff. I don't know if Berger would have volunteered the info if Kerry didn't know, and I am not sure that the Feds are obligated to tell Kerry. Someone should ask him point blank if he knew about it prior to public disclosure. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody cares to ask that question. If he did know, it was a poor decision to keep him on.
