And then, inexplicably, rather than taking it home so he could read it, he went to a construction site and hid it.

Now you’re going to tell us THAT’s normal behavior for a leftist Democrat who had nothing to hide and who wasn’t trying to cover up anything.

I was merely waiting to see what kind of hare-brained “evidence” you were presenting, either from DU or Kos talking points or your own tinfoil-hat-lined conspiracy theories.

Glad to see you didn’t let me down.

ND30 – over to you.

there has already been testimony and it is accepted wisdom that berger and clinton called off killing bin laden because of namby pamby political decisions that they have expressed regret for. You can’t destroy what people have written books about. There are also computer files for all that stuff. I sincerely doubt berger destroyed computer files of stuff just on the lucky chance that he now had an excuse, the 9/11 commision, to go in there and do it.

But again, thank you for at least livening the story up. you should consider adding that wrinkle next time you post the sandy berger story. who knows maybe you’ll get some non right wing nutsos to care!

He was trying to destroy documents that demonstrated that he and Bill Clinton in fact several times called off the killing of Osama bin Laden.

And now, let’s hear your explanation.

what do YOU thinki berger was doing?

what was he covering up? Do you think the memos, which he himself had written about a two years before 9/11. have information about the 9/11 hijackers?

again, what is your explanation. and don’ t re-tell me about how he took th documents. we go it.

now, if you will, the REST of the story?

How, exactly, does one prepare for a commission by taking copies of documents out in one’s pants and deliberately hiding them at a construction site?

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Ted Kennedy should be asked every day from this point forward how they and their fellow Democrats like lester believe that Berger’s actions were simply his means of preparing for the 9/11 commission.

To help you out: we don’t know which copies and what, if any, notes were on those copies… we can’t know until the time-for-release embargo is met in 2017 or whenever. Berger won’t tell. There is a record of which documents he reviewed, but releasing those would we violating the National Secrets Act… again.

Asking Berger to take a polygraph is a stunt. I disagree with you that it isn’t an important stunt… ’cause as the Democrats have proved readily to the GOP, PR stunts sometimes work. And repeating even baseless accusations (W avoided the VN war service, etc) sometimes stick.

Just look at all the “impeachment” cries of the last 6 years… and the successful effort to discredit W’s presidency by the Dems.

ever heard the expression “there’s no “there” there?” Everyone knows he took the documents when he shouldn’t have. there’s nothing else to the story. Do you think he was going to sell the memos to a foreign memo collector?

There’s no motive for anything other than the stated reason of preparing for the 9/11 commision.

Makes you think.

I suspect that if Berger had been a republican the democrats and MSM would have been hollering for his head every day for months.

Yeah – when pigs fly.

I think that’s the real point: We CAN’T know. Berger has denied us the possibility. Though allegedly a public servant, Berger decided that his need to avoid embarassment supersedes the public’s right to understand what went on in the Clinton Administration.

Others holders of security clearances would certainly be in jail if they committed the same actions.
