SECRET AGENT MAN

I read the above. Berger is a bum, a symptom, more than a symptom of the fatal illness of our country. He is one of the dirtbags who has sold out this country.
And he served as NSA for whom? Need I say more?
A self-important idiot. I sat across from him on a plane once.
LOL, unfortunate choice of words.
They were original copies...I'll explain in a minute.
I disagree with the assessment these were taken to brief Kerry up. Here is why. Clarke wrote this after action review to get additional focus on counter terrorism. He wrote the wrote draft, then copies were made, numbered (copy 4 of 10 or whatever) and circulated to relevant parties for comments. Different people marked up different copies with their comments. When all the copies and comments were returned to Clarke, he finalized the review...but he was unsuccessful in getting additional focus on terrorism. Someone's comments shot down his effort, and that someone had to be high up.
I think it very likely that people made comments along the lines of 'politically not worth it' or 'too much political capital' or 'it won't be popular' or 'it won't poll well' The Clinton administration destroyed incriminating documents before they turned over power, but they didn't realize this was incriminating until after 9-11, when they could no longer destroy it. That is why Berger was stealing and destroying documents...it was not Clarke's document itself he was after, it was other people's comments on it. That is why multiple copies were stolen. The Clinton Administration knew the threat and failed to take the necessary measures because they thought it would hurt them politically. They sacrificed 3,000 Americans on the altar of Clinton's legacy. And the documents that proved it had to be destroyed.
bump
I wasn't aware that multiple copies of the same doc were stolen.
I yield to your superior analysis.
Bastards!
Kerry is a communist, traitor, a coward and phoney. He is unfit to hold any office much less that of a US Senator. The people in Mass. must be utterly brain dead or communist to keep electing this POS and you too, Ted Jabba the Hut Kennedy. Bush/Cheney 2004
Your explanation makes sense.
Yikes ! Worst case scenario: this info was passed on to the terrorists who will be theoritically attacking us just before the election. The intent obviously to elect Kerry by terrorist action (denying conservatives the ability to vote). That would be the only way Kerry is assured to win by Bergers theft.
Ginsberg: "Kerry Must Answer This ESSENTIAL Point Re: Sandy Berger"

The following excerpt was transcribed by me from my videotape of the 5 minute segment on Fox News Channel this morning entitled, "Bracing For Battle". The segment began at 9:44 AM and ended at 9:49 AM Eastern.
Guests: Richard Goodstein, Democrat strategist and former advisor to the 2000 Gore/Lieberman Campaign
Ben Ginsberg, Election law expert, and national counsel for the Bush/Cheney 2004 Campaign. (He was also counsel to Bush/Cheney during the 2000 election re-count)
Bottom line excerpt:
Ben Ginsberg: "The essential point is, did Sandy Berger, who is one of John Kerry's top advisors, get those documents - those classified documents that he was stuffing down his pants in the National Archives - to the Kerry Campaign for their benefit? And that's an essential question that needs to be answered by the Kerry Campaign. Did they benefit from documents and information they should not have had?"

Did you hear what Rush just said [12:50-55 AM Eastern] in relation to this? He commented on what Congressman Gordon Smith had to say on the subject also.
You can listen at his website if you don't have access to a radio. http://www.rushlimbaugh.com
If you can't listen, he will no doubt have those comments posted there later on today.
