It's good to see someone else thinks this was an act of treason by
Sandy Berger. We all know who put him up to this, we just don't know
what he was really after.

Do you remember when the talking heads were calling this just a
"sloppy" mishandling of the documents? The only thing sloppy will be
Sandy Berger's brains if he sings.

And if it occurred during the Bush "adminstration" repugs would also be
silent. Get off your "quite amazing" high horse.

Considering the fiascos that've been rather frequently occurring within the
Republican party/GWB administration for the last couple of years, I'd say
this was an attempt at "Let's see if we can begin to balance the scales so
that our side doesn't look quite so awful" post.

The Republicans had control of Congress, the Executive and have appointed
over hald the sitting Federal judges and they haven't made some sort of case
against Berger and you think there's something to find? Get a grip.

Clinton had a free pass thanks to people like you who adored him.

So you think that Berger's actions were justified and not worthy of a
criminal investigation?

No, if ALL administrations going back as far as Truman's had adopted a
Jeffersonian attitude ("Free trade and neutrality with all nations;
entangling alliances with none") towards the Middle East, we wouldn't have
had 9/11.

To believe that the seeds for 9/11 were sown - or could have been fumigated
- between 1992 and 2000 is to demonstrate supreme ignorance of the dynamic
of American foreign policy and its effect on various Middle Eastern
factions.

Are you saying Berger's actions were justified, legal and unworthy of
further investigation?

IF IF IF Whenever I see "IF" statements, I see an asshole in full denial
of reality. Guaranteed, IF your statement were true, there would have been
LOTS of atrocities around the world, thanks to fucking cocksucking ***gots
like you not doing anything.

It is not Congress's place to hold hearings in this matter; Mr. Berger's
actions did not take place while he was an administration official. This
is a job for the attorney general.

Of course the fact that it wasn't Congress's place to hold hearings didn't
stop them from hauling Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa up to Washington.
Fucking morons (the congresscretins - not Som & Big Mac).
