Inadvertent

Most Americans probably never heard of Sandy Berger. But he was a high ranking official in the Clinton White House – one of BCs national security top advisors. A while back, he was appointed by Clinton to obtain top secret terrorism-related documents in the National Archives in order to pass along meaningful information to the supposedly non-partisan 9/11 Commission. Berger went to the Archives and then committed several cardinal sins — illegal actions — that he termed “inadvertent”, as in “Oops, sorry”. So what did he do?
Berger took top secret documents from the files, and made copies (inadvertently)of them in the process. He removed the top secret documents and copies from the Archives – of course, inadvertently. He put some of the documents in his personal brief case, inadvertently. He then stuffed the copies into his trousers, inadvertently. Then he got caught. Oh yes, this process was not a one time affair. It continued over several visits.
Berger is no stranger to classified material. He is a consummate Washinton insider who knows the ropes, and the rules of handling top secret data. He knew exactly what he was doing, and his biggest crime was getting caught. And his excuse was that he made a simple mistake — ”inadvertently”. It is interesting to note that all of the material taken illegally from the National Archives top secret files has not been returned as of this date (still missing), and neither has the nature of the material removed from the Archives been disclosed. But it is clear that there was a specific objective of being selective about what documents were to be given to the 9/11 Commission and those that were not.
So ask yourself a simple question — you take classified Top Secret data from the Archives, make copies, stuff them in your personal briefcase and trousers, and return only part of the documents after getting caught, and then pass it off as a simple mistake made — inadvertently. Sure! Do you really buy that?
The liberal left wing big media doesn't want to make a fuss over over this story, so you probably won't hear much about it unless you watch Fox News. Don't expect much from Peter, Dan and Tom. They'll bury it somewhere.
