WASHINGTON — The Justice Department should administer a polygraph test to former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger to find out what documents he took from the National Archives in 2002 and 2003, Rep. Tom Davis wrote in a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales dated Monday.

Davis, ranking Republican on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, is leading a group of 18 lawmakers who say the Justice Department has been "remarkably incurious" about Berger's decision to remove documents relating to the Sept. 11 commission's inquiry into his role in helping prevent terror attacks during the Clinton administration.

Lots of questions need to be asked.  I suggest Representative Davis and signatories to the request for the polygraph provide the questions for the administrator of the test.

"Berger should be behind bars, as any Republican would be were the party affiliation different."

Agree.

The eighteen were from the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.  According to the Fox report, the letter was signed by all Republican members of Congress.
