Drowned Out by Katrina, Berger Gets Away With It

1 posted on 09/17/2005 1:17:50 PM PDT by Mia T

I thought the Berger fiasco was settled many months ago, with him getting a meager $10,000 fine. It was the Bush administration (John Ashcroft, at the time) whom I believe under-prosecuted this crime, and we were all outraged back then.

This play was often performed by the master of diversion, clintoon, when another of his sexual adultery would hit the front page. Ole clintoon would just order bombing of another country. Explains why clintoon ordered bombing of 6 countries in 8 years (the two he missed were election years). Berger was clintoon's NSA man.

I think that was what they asked for in the original plea bargain. I guess the Judge upped the fine.

Thanks for the ping,Mia T !

The Berger--Able Danger/Atta--9/11 Commission whitewash-- is a story with many chapters.

The MSM at best will show us the book jacket.

I'm glad you're around to work on the table of contents and pertinent footnotes!

As always,FRegards... :o)

The double standard in the MSM and the death of true investigative reporting continues to wreak havoc upon this nation. Thanks for your part in exposing the truth, Mia T.

I don't think Katrina had anything to do with the lack of media coverage of the Berger fiasco. It would have been buried in any event. And, had Berger been a Republican Office Holder, the coverage would have burned right thru Katrina.

With all due respect, the media DID NOT DECIDE TO LET BERGER off. It was and is Bush's administration. All the media coverage in the world would not have changed what Bush's Justice department decided to do. It pains me to say this... Bush does not seem to be interested in punishing any former Klintoista. I wish I could explain the reasons, but for whatever reason, it has a bad smell around it and makes me mad as hell.

I would have had Berger shot at dawn after the one hour in court.

He got away with it because the Bush "Justice" Dept. made it possible for him to do so. Everything swept under the rug - status quo.

And Bush Sr. is now Sh$%head Clinton's best buddy. I'm shocked.

Well, when's the last time you saw a high-level professional politician hold another one to account?

It's not all that hard to figure out.

I agree. I will be commenting on this (somewhat obliquely) in the next post.

Maybe you meant to reply to the original poster instead of to me (please see my comments in post #2). I don't believe the media had or should have any roll in prosecuting Berger or anyone; that's what the Justice Dept. is for. But in this case, the Bush administration let him skate.

As Bill O'Reilly often states, the powerful protect each other. It's unforgivable here, however, because Berger's acts dealt with our national security. I would have thought several years in prison would be appropriate.

Did Bush 41 forget what he said in '92?
Shame. He should know better.

Washington mutual protection racket writ large
(Let us not fool ourselves:
the Jamie Gorelick /9/11 Commission farce
required the tactit approval of Bush43)
It IS sickening.

Quite simply, Sandy Berger compromised our national security.
In a time of war.

A capital offense.

The Bush DoJ failed.

It was its duty to squeeze Berger to get the people behind this outrage.
The people who are a clear and present danger to this country.
We all know who they are.

We must clean house.
Get rid of the careerists.
All of them.

Post 9/11,
we no longer have the luxury
to coddle self-interest,
whether clinton pathological
or Bush not so benign.

'Scam' is a bit harsh. There WAS some entertainment value. (Among those joining the clinton clowns were Brad Pitt, Mick Jagger, Oprah... and, of course, Barbra.)

Hey Mia, don't give Bush and Gonzales a pass on this. They decided on a wrist slap long ago. Hillary has the FBI files and she's making them dance to her tune.

Thanks for the post/ping Mia T. The first step in taking them all down (if one is so inclined to think they are all the same)is to vote one of them into extinction. It's easy, is bloodless, doesn't cost anything, and best of all...WE WILL HAVE FUN DOING IT. The "one"...The Clear and Present Danger...is THE DEMOCRATIC CRIME SYNDICATE.

If necessary, in 3 or 4 election cycles they can both be history. (It may take the dems a couple of cycles to get the message.)

Looking forward to a more perfect union. Work like yours is part of that perfection. Thanks.

"Clinton is the largest charmer of planet. What it does today is noble," declared Mr. Peres."
$1.25 Billion donated to Clinton Global Summit
ATS Swiss News Agency via Babelfish translation | September 18, 2005

Babelfish translation seems to have inserted an errant "c"....
What it meant to spit out was this:

"Clinton is the largest harmer of planet."

Also note:
By saying, "What it [sic... (on second thought, scratch 'sic')] does today is noble," Peres reveals that he understands that clinton's actions during all the yesterdays were ignoble.

^{How much is going to be spent killing American troops and destroying the American Constitution?--Dallas59
excellent point ^{Q ERTY6}bump

"clinton global initiative" -
With what is fast becoming a nasty habit of naming his gaudy, self-aggrandizing conceits after himself, (suspecting that no one will sully a pet project, even posthumously--especially posthumously--with the label 'clinton' ), bill clinton is fast becoming The Donald of the political set. Fitting.

Can we tally up the blood and treasure the clintons' utter failure is costing us?Will the clintons repay AMERICA for their self-serving utter failure and ineptitude?
This clinton slush fund takes Chinagate, and even the clinton library slush fund, to another order of magnitude. Who will ensure that missus clinton's campaign coffers do not contain foreign monies?
FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU! FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME!

PLAY TAPE}

LEHRER: President Bush, your closing statement, sir.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Three weeks from now--two weeks from tomorrow, America goes to the polls and you're going to have to decide who you want to lead this country ...

On foreign affairs, some think it's irrelevant. I believe it's not. We're living in an interconnected world...And if a crisis comes up, ask who has the judgment and the experience and, yes, the character to make the right decision?

And, lastly, the other night on character Governor Clinton said it's not the character of the president but the character of the presidency. I couldn't disagree more. Horace Greeley said the only thing that endures is character. And I think it was Justice Black who talked about great nations, like great men, must keep their word.

And so the question is, who will safeguard this nation, who will safeguard our people and our children? I need your support, I ask for your support. And may God bless the United States of America.

(Applause)

The system, called CAPPS (Civil Aviation Passenger Protection System) was based in an algorithm that evaluated risk factors to spot hijackers.

And CAPPS worked brilliantly on 9/11 -- picking out 11 of the 19 hijackers for special scrutiny as possible terrorists. But. Gore's work was entirely based on the belief that nobody would commit suicide while hijacking a plane.

9/11 warning ignored
By Dick Morris

With all the media genuflecting before the press-conference podium of bill clinton, it bears remarking yet again that the clinton intellect (an oxymoron even more jarring than AlGoreRhythm and meant to encompass the cognitive ability of both clintons) is remarkable only for its utter ordinariness, its lack of creative spark, its lack of analytic precision, its lack of depth.

The clintons' fundamental error: They are too arrogant and dim-witted to understand that the demagogic process in this fiberoptic age isn't about counting spun heads; it's about not discounting circumambient brains.

Politicos and reporters are not rocket scientists . . .

Professions tend to be self-selected, intellectually homogeneous subgroups of Homo sapiens. Great intellects (especially these days) do not generally gravitate towards careers in the media or politics. Mediocre, power-obsessed types with poor self-images do.

Thus, clinton mediocrity goes undetected primarily because of media mediocrity. ("Mediocrity" and "media" don't come from the same Latin root (medius) for no reason.) Insofar as the clintons are concerned, the media confuse form with substance, smoothness with coherence, data-spewing with ratiocination, pre-programmed recitation with real-time analysis, an idiosyncratic degeneracy with creativity.

(as they always are),
syncopatedly,
(i.e., narcissistically,

out of step.

Clinton's failure to grasp the opportunity to unravel increasingly organized extremists, coupled with Berger's assessments of their potential to directly threaten the U.S., represents one of the most serious foreign policy failures in American history.

DISCUSSION

"I remember exactly what happened. Bruce Lindsey said to me on the phone, 'My God, a second plane has hit the tower.' And I said, 'Bin Laden did this.' that's the first thing I said. He said, 'How can you be sure?' I said 'Because only bin Laden and the Iranians could set up the network to do this and they [the Iranians] wouldn't do it because they have a country in targets. Bin Laden did it.'
I thought that my virtual obsession with him was well placed and I was full of regret that I didn't get him."

"Mr. bin Laden used to live in Sudan. He was expelled from Saudi Arabia in '91 and he went to the Sudan.
We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They released him [bin Laden].
At the time, '96, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.
So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, 'cause they could have; but they thought it was a hot potato. They didn't and that's how he wound up in Afghanistan."
