PJM is making public on this website for the first time the report by the Inspector General’s office regarding Sandy Berger and his theft and destruction of classified national security documents — named in the report as, “The ‘W’ Intelligence Files.” This document was obtained for review by Pajamas Media.
Berger, as the former National Security Adviser for the Clinton Administration, was granted sole access to these documents in order to vet them prior to their being turned over to the 9/11 Commission and congress. As this file shows, he used this position of trust to take a number of documents and destroy several.
[Editors’ Note: The ramifications of this report are profound when placed against the questions of who knew what and when did they know it in the Clinton years prior to 9/11.
As is common with all such documents, the pages have been heavily redacted following a security review. Still, enough facts remain to give readers a clear picture of Berger’s access and actions leading up to the crimes for which he has pled guilty.
Pajamas Media will be examining and investigating the leads and questions that arise from this document in the coming days. At the same time we recognize that our resources in this regard are limited.
Therefore we are making this document public and ask that it be reviewed by knowledgeable people to see what information can be gleaned from the facts that remain visible after the security review.
A few questions emerge on the first reading for which answers would, we believe, be telling and valuable to the public’s understanding of the deeper roots of 9/11.
Among these are:
What was role of Omar Bashir, President of the Sudan, and his relationship to Berger and President Clinton during the days when he offered to cooperate in the capture of Osama Bin Laden?
What was in the ten to twenty pages of notes Berger is believed to have taken out of the reviewing room against regulations during his first session?
Who was the person or persons Berger contacted during the numerous “private cell phone calls” he was allowed to make during his active review of the classified documents?
Exactly what was in the documents Berger stole from the archives, some of which he has confessed to destroying?
The list can be extended as one reads the OIG report carefully. We are confident that by releasing this document in this manner we can call upon the networked intelligence of the Web to find within these pages not only more questions, but the beginnings of the answer to the central mystery of this entire incident: “Who was Berger looking to protect from the 9/11 Commission’s inquiry? Was it just himself and his role in our National Security in the Clinton years? Or were there others that the documents would either embarrass or implicate? ]
Oh, yeah, never mind. The one-party system we have would never put this scumbag in a Federal Penitentiary for crimes against the one party gubbmint, would they?
Feh!
Merry Christmas everyone. At least most of us are still free to write our thoughts and opinions on sites like this one...so far...

MSNBC reported and stressed that what Berger stole was NOT incriminating to the Clinton Administration. If so, why did he do it?
Just briefly looked over that document, did you catch the quote by Berger on page 19?
Quote as follows:
"I may be stupid, but I am not self destructive".
Then WHY doesn't MSNBC TELL US WHAT WAS IN THOSE FILES???? If they are SOOOOOO damn sure that nothing that incriminated the Clinton Admin......oh, right...I can't even write anymore, it mnakes me so sick. The Media and the Dems will get us killed.

"I realized I was giving a benign Explanation for what was not benign."
-Berger
These crimona;s may not get their just due on this earth, but I KNOW God will take care of them!
There is information on another website, possibly Hot Air, that the documents Sandy was perusing belonged to a category that were uncatalogued - being called something like "study group working papers" - which many have long thought were copies of Richard Clarke's AAR distributed to 'principals' and annotated by those 'principals.'
Let your imagination go wild on what some of those marginal comments by BJ and his cronies might have been.
Each persons 'copy' of Clarke's report became an 'original' when they made their own personal notations.
Sandy was sent in to vacuum them out of the file cases, before they could be seen by anyone else on the 9-11 commission, etc.

"Mr. Berger said if there was always someone with him, he would not have taken any documents"
This report is a riot. I will bbl.
BJ. Next question.
What was role of Omar Bashir, President of the Sudan, and his relationship to Berger and President Clinton [ -- and the Commission’s Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton]?
"Sudan President Omar al-Bashir [wrote] a letter to Lee Hamilton, the ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee." The letter offered the Sudan's extensive files on al-Qaeda to the U.S. That was 1997.
Like the entire Clinton Administration, the Congressman just ignored the letter; it was just one more terrorist alert that was missed.
The Commission’s 2004 final report did not mention Sudan’s offers and of course contained no mention of the direct involvement of the Commission’s Vice Chairman in the public version, at least.
This was news to me -- looks like it's the whole damn Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democrat Party.)
...and constantly referred to the documents as "copies". The fact that they had annotations by many bigs of the ex42 administration was just not mentioned. Most people who know anything at all about the incident probably think that he took unchanged copies, leaving the original in the archives.
Plain and simple answer...FBI files.
How many did Bill and Hill illegally have in their possession?
Whose exactly were they and what did they contain?
I think that some pubbies are scared spitless by what she knows about them, otherwise all you know what should have broken loose when that came to light.
You could be on to something!
A real mystery which leaves me bitterly disappointed.
"After eight months of negotiations and countless dinners of Nile perch and soggy French fries, I persuaded Sudan's president, Omar Hasan el Bashir, to make an unconditional offer to share Sudan's intelligence data with the FBI and CIA. The offer, made at my request directly to the 9/11 Commission's vice chairman, former Congressman Lee Hamilton (D., Ind.), sat in limbo for months. Hamilton personally discussed the offer with Berger and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, with little effect."

NEVER FORGET
The day after the 9/11 Attacks Pakistani international businessman & Terrorism Expert MONSOUR IJAZ appeared on the FoX News Channel.
IJAZ told the American People that the previous day's terrorist attacks on them could have been prevented if only the CLINTON White House hadn't refused the 3 free offers he had personally brokered with the Sudan during the 1990's to give us our No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN on a silver platter before his hitting us real hard here at home.
IJAZ then went on to name SANDY BERGER, a former Washington D.C. head lobbyist for Communist China, as the White House point of contact for these CLINTON refusals.
Months later DICK MORRIS, the CLINTONS' personal White House Political Advisor during the mid-1990's, confirmed for the first time anywhere on 'The Judicial Watch Report' National Talk Radio Show that it was BILL CLINTON himself who had personally refused two of these OSAMA bin LADEN offers from the Sudan in 1995 & 1996. The only reason MORRIS couldn't also confirm on the air the year 2000 OSAMA bin LADEN Offer refusal by CLINTON ...was because MORRIS was no longer in the CLINTON White House at that time.

Long ago, the CLINTONS actively supported our then No. 1 Terrorist Anti-Freedom Enemy, Communist North Vietnam Dictator HO CHI MINH, during the Vietnam War.
For,
...the Enemy is now within...
...and always has been,
...it seems..???

NEVER FORGET
From the outset
the 911 Commission purposely decided NOT to address anything that went on during the CLINTON Years =
No serious consideration of MONSOUR IJAZ's actions during the 1990's on behalf of our national safety against terrorist attacks.
NUTS.
"Who was the person or persons Berger contacted during the numerous “private cell phone calls” he was allowed to make during his active review of the classified documents?"
I think this is one of the more important questions because not only does it speak to Berger's intent but it should be easy to answer. There must be records. If the phone records exist then someone has them. Hey Woodward, here's a chance for you make like a real journalist instead of a fraud.
