Wait a minute? He did more than remove and retain classified information? He lost some of it, destroyed some of it, or sold it to the highest foreign bidder?
But then again, if we live in a country that can starve to death an innocent woman, I guess it's OK for a political SOB to steal a few classified documents?????
I can't believe he's still going with this excuse. You cannot accidentally stuff documents into your socks and pants.
Pete Williams on MSNBC said the striking thing about the plea is he will plead to "knowingly" taking the documents.
Somebody over there actually thought he was cleared!
Good grief
Well, now that you make that point I am going to say I was very upset today to read the mocking on some threads about the description that people stood in a circle around Terri Schiavo's bed to pray for her passing.
I simply could not belive the comments and can only think those people have never stood in a hospital room around the bed of someone who has died.
I have. Several times. Once around the bed of my two-year old God child.
The hateful speech that has been tolerated will not soon be forgotten.
If I get banned for stating my opinion, so be it.
clarify...pray after her passing.
belive = believe
"Many Democrats, including former President Clinton, suggested politics were behind disclosure of the probe only days before the release of the Sept. 11 commission report, which Republicans feared would be a blow to President Bush's re-election campaign."
I really don't like the summary of historical events that Yahoo or the AP put out to remind us about these concerns. Which Republicans stated directly that they were going to be afraid of the electoral impact of the report, and, if this was such a big election-blower, why have news services like the New York Times ignored the findings of the commission to resurrect their discredited conspiracy theories (the flights after 9-11 that were made possible by Richard Clarke)?
(shaking head) One of them is comparing the loss of classified documents to losing a library book. You can't get much more ridiculous than that.
Why do they think he was stuffing them down his pants if there was nothing wrong with it?
At the time the story came out we figured the dems had leaked word of the investigation themselves in order to distract attention from the crime.
Your points are spot on. The 9/11 report did not have the negative content that the dems hoped for and that this report hints it did.
A very low threshold has been set indeed.
And one brings up Plame. Evidently that person is still nursing hope that a pro-Bush official will be named as "leaking" her "name".
Such delusion.

Sandy Berger was acting like a complete child. He thought he could save his reputation by "sanitizing" the record. Typical of the people in the Administration he served. There is something about liberals of his generation. They refuse to grow up and act like adults.
Didnt he destroy some documents!?
