Amazing! Of course, Clinton was blameless for the lack of security for our nation leqading up to 911, that's why he sent Sandy Burger into the National Archives so he could stuff related documents into his pants and shoes....later to be destroyed.
http://apnews.excite.com/article/20061221/D8M4TNQ80.html Clinton cronie, Sandy Berger pleaded guilty to removing classified documents related to the investigation of 911.
"President Clinton's national security adviser removed classified documents from the National Archives, hid them under a construction trailer and later tried to find the trash collector to retrieve them"
I'm sure there was a good reason for all of this.
"Berger took the documents in the fall of 2003 while working to prepare himself and Clinton administration witnesses for testimony to the Sept. 11 commission. Berger was authorized as the Clinton administration's representative to make sure the commission got the correct classified materials."
I'll bet Slick Willy had no prior knowlege of Bergers plans.
"He headed toward a construction area. ... Mr. Berger looked up and down the street, up into the windows of the Archives and the DOJ (Department of Justice), and did not see anyone," the interview notes said.
He then slid the documents under a construction trailer, according to the inspector general. Berger acknowledged that he later retrieved the documents from the construction area and returned with them to his office.
"He was aware of the risk he was taking," the inspector general's notes said. Berger then returned to the Archives building without fearing the documents would slip out of his pockets or that staff would notice that his pockets were bulging.
The notes said Berger had not been aware that Archives staff had been tracking the documents he was provided because of earlier suspicions from previous visits that he was removing materials. Also, the employees had made copies of some documents.
In October 2003, the report said, an Archives official called Berger to discuss missing documents from his visit two days earlier. The investigator's notes said, "Mr. Berger panicked because he realized he was caught."
Can you believe that Berger was actually barred from accessing the National Archives for three whole years! That's too severe!
The Clintons are probably in no way involved in this though.
