The report was issued more than a year after Sandy Berger pleaded guilty and received a criminal sentence for removing the documents.What criminal sentence? The sob received a slap on the hand but should have gone to prison for life

Significant portions of the inspector general's report were redacted to protect privacy or national security....and to protect the clinton legacy

Why isn't this slime in prison. If you or I did this, we'd be in the slammer for sure.

If you or I had done this we
would be in jail right now. There is no mistaking the disappearance of documents for taking them, secreting them under a construction trailer, and then retrieving them.
He stole the documents to keep the 9/11 commission from seeing the information damaging to the Clinton administration, pure and simple. He is a traitor. For this, he received the terrible punishment of not being able to have his security clearance back for three years, coincidentally, just in time for the next Democratic Presidential Administration's rule of terror.
I am incensed and highly disappointed in what I thought President Bush's administration was, and, now, has turned out not to be. Whatever W's purpose was for letting this scum go, it is a slap in the face to all of us.

I found one paragraph in what I believe to be the initial AP story somewhat interesting
[bold emphasis mine]:
"Berger, with the authorization of former President Clinton, was reviewing National Security Council documents on Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida, Sudan, and related presidential correspondence. The review was to facilitate Berger's impending testimony before the House and Senate intelligence committees."
That paragraph doesn't seem to be included in most versions of this story, but as of 0500 EST, it was still in this story:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061220/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/berger_documents_1
The question is, if Berger was acting with the "authorization" of his former boss, did that authorization include instructions to dispose of and sanitize anything potentially threatening to the "most ethical administration in history" as Emperor Billigula used to refer to his regime?
Too bad the Inspector General will probably ignore this facet of the alleged 'investigation' into Sandy Burglar's actions.

If this were a Republican, this would be front-page news. We know Berger will be let off. It's sad how we've resigned ourselves to the fact that some people are above the law. And there's nothing we can do about it.

Glenn Beck had a segment last night which was basically, whatever happened to the Foley investigation, the immigration issue, etc. The point being that the election of November 7 happened and all the stuff that had the msm's panties in a twist is no longer important. This information, issued a couple of days before Christmas and a couple of months after the election is of no import to anyone except those of us who give a damn about the future of our country.....and no one else is listening.

Can anyone, ANYONE, tell me what the clintons have on the bush's? I'm open to speculation, hearsay, conspiracy, or just plain facts. There must be a reason bush has not pursued the clinton crimes, a reason beyond "let's just all get along."

"Can anyone, ANYONE, tell me what the clintons have on the bush's?"
My speculation is that Bush is more concerned about national security than he is about getting the Clintonoids - most likely because Sandy Burglar proabably threatened to reveal national secrets that Bush doesn't want out there.
We'll find out soon enough if the demoncrats have anything on Bush now that they run the investigative committees. Again, my speculation is that if they don't impeach it is because they don't have anything on Bush (most likely the votes to impeach aren't there either) which would tend to validate my national security supposition.
What did Clinton know about Bergers activities AND when did he know it ??????
Coverup....

First, it is OUTRAGEOUS and an absolute slap in our faces that Berger has gotten away with this. It is just another chip away at the foundation on this country and our culture. We can bemoan the fact that we have crime and corruption and the message is crime does pay, so in a way you can't blame people for going that route. We have become the peons and we are held to a higher standard than the elitist in goverment.
As far as the Bushes and Clintons, I believe all people at that level of goverment are in collusion. They have done alot of shady things to get where they are. Those suspense novels that describe all of the secrative backdoor dealings, and the power hungry sociopaths, are probably more fact than fiction.

This is why the Republicans lost the election. There is absolutely no doubt that the Tim Russerts of the world have come out of the closet to attest to their allegence to the Democratic party. Until the Republicans can answer the drive by media,the university professors, National Education Association, CAIR, Unions, and all of the foundations and the George Soros funded groups, they will lose.
The Clinton impeachment was their Viet Nam. They began a war with the Democrats that they did not have the courage to fight. Now anything less than rape, perjury, campaign finance fraud, selling National secrets, sexual harassment by a govt leader etc. is insignificant.
Yes what Burger did was far worse than Scooter Libby, but the double standard has been cast and most Republicans worry only about their personal hide.
