Berger might have had a good reason to swipe documents

Surely it was an innocent mistake, former Clinton administration National Security Adviser Samuel R. Berger's stuffing classified documents into his pants, his jacket and perhaps even his socks before leaving the National Archives building last fall.
After all, what could he possibly have been trying to hide? Mr. Berger had been asked by President Bill Clinton to review documents that had been requested by the 9/11 commission relating to the Clinton administration's handling of terrorism.

Look at former Clinton CIA Director John M. Deutch. He got himself into a passel of trouble when he downloaded some 17,000 pages of classified material onto a home computer, which he then kept after he left his government post. There was such a stink at Mr. Deutch's putting national security secrets on an unsecured computer that Mr. Clinton had to issue one of those 11th-hour pardons the day before he left office, nullifying a Justice Department plea agreement in which the former CIA director admitted he was guilty of mishandling classified documents.

The current fuss is the same kind of narrow-mindedness that forced Mr. Berger's predecessor at the National Security Council, Anthony Lake, to withdraw his name from consideration after he was nominated to be CIA director in 1997.
Mr. Lake never informed Mr. Clinton that the Chinese government had tried to influence the 1996 congressional elections by funneling $2 million to Democratic candidates, even though Mr. Lake's staff had been thoroughly briefed on the plot by the FBI.

Amazing what you can find, when you look!
