Too sweet. Let's hope Joe Scarborough pursues this tonight.

I saw NBC news tonight and they had on a story that made it seem like the 9-11 commish was pulling its punches and letting Bush off the hook. It was a really slanted story--no doubt a story to preempt the Berger story that was going to hit later.

And what is with this uproar over Arnies innocuous commnets--what a misdirection play!! The Left is going to do everything in its power to limit the impact of this. They are going to try to keep it in the talk radio/FNC echo chamber. The few times they do mention it they will put pro Berger spin on it.

This is it!!! This is how Clinton is sinking Kerry's ship!! Send Berger on a mission and get him nailed!

It's Hillary in 08!

Nope. If Bill's in (and he is--it's even stated in the article), then "she's" involved. This was not cooked up to get Kerry. Get real. It was cooked up to cover up for Clinton, just like it looks.

Wow!
Sounds like they don't even hide from the fact that Clinton is a crook. Yet they still support him.

And the question hanging in the air, of course, is what ELSE have they done that we don't know about!

Katie Colic will probably be wearing black, and look like she's been dragged through a knot hole backwards.

In the FBI search of his office, Berger also was found in possession of a small number of classified note cards containing his handwritten notes from the Middle East peace talks during the 1990s, but those are not a focus of the current criminal probe, officials and lawyers said.

Breuer said the Archives staff first raised concerns with Berger during an Oct. 2 review of documents that at least one copy of the post-millennium report he had reviewed earlier was missing. Berger was given a second copy that day, Breuer said.

Officials familiar with the investigation said Archives staff specially marked the documents and when the new copy and others disappeared, Archives officials called Clinton attorney Bruce Lindsey to report the disappearance.

Berger immediately returned all the notes he had taken, and conducted a search and located two copies of the classified documents on a messy desk in his office, Breuer said. An Archives official came to Berger's home to collect those documents but Berger couldn't locate the other missing copies, the lawyer said.

He retained counsel, and in January the FBI executed search warrants of a safe at Berger's home as well as his business office where he found some of the documents. Agents also failed to locate the missing documents.

Justice Department officials have told the Sept. 11 commission of the Berger incident and the nature of the documents in case commissioners wanted more information, officials said. The commission is expected to release its final report Thursday.

Congressional intelligence committees, however, have not been formally notified.

"The House Intelligence Committee has not been informed on the loss or theft of any classified intelligence information from the Archives, but we will follow up and get the information that is appropriate for the committee to have," the committee said Monday in a statement. "And if it has occurred, we should be informed. If there has been delay in getting the information to the committee we need to know why."

Berger is the second high-level Clinton-era official to face controversy over taking classified information home.

Former CIA Director John Deutch was pardoned by Clinton just hours before Clinton left office in 2001 for taking home classified information and keeping it on unsecured computers at his home during his time at the CIA and Pentagon. Deutch was about to enter into a plea agreement for a misdemeanor charge of mishandling government secrets when the pardon was granted.

Except, IIRC, Joe Wilson is being paid exactly what he is worth. That is, nothing.

Over the years, Edwards has sought advice from Holbrooke; retired Army Gen. Hugh Shelton, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and Sandy Berger, Clinton's national security adviser.

"I met with John in the spring of '01, before 9-11, and at that point he wanted to focus and concentrate on terrorism," said Berger. "He really bore down on that issue and the bioterrorism issue."

Edwards received $2,000 from Sandy Berger, a former Clinton national security adviser who is now chairman of Stonebridge International, a Washington consulting firm whose work in the past year includes lobbying for companies interested in business opportunities in Iraq. Berger himself doesn’t lobby, a spokeswoman said.

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to explain it to us!

Kind of like records mysteriously showing up on the table in the White House? Things like this have always whenever the Clintoons & minions are involved.

Too sweet. Let's hope Joe Scarborough pursues this tonight.

Scarborough has the people from the "911 All Over Again?" flight, the dryrun flight from Detroit to LA.
