Sandy Berger Stole, Hid, Attempted to Retrieve.

Hey folks,

Well this is interesting. With all this talk about corruption, rewriting history, and failing to follow ethics rules, we have this report just out. According to the AP,

"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, the agency's internal watchdog said Wednesday.

The report was issued more than a year after Sandy Berger pleaded guilty to unlawfully removing and retaining classified documents.

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.

Inspector General Paul Brachfeld reported that National Archives employees spotted Berger outside the building, bending down and fiddling with something white around his ankles."

Yes he had the documents in his pants.

"Brachfeld reported that on one visit, Berger took a break to go outside without an escort while it was dark outside.

"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," said notes prepared by the inspector general's office.

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."

Break,

"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."

The notes said that Berger had "destroyed, cut into small pieces, three of the four documents. These were put in the trash."

After the trash had been picked up, Berger "tried to find the trash collector but had no luck," the notes said."

So Berger pleaded guilty, was fined $50,000, ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and barred from access to classified material for three years. Barred from access to Classified material for THREE YEARS? How about FOREVER. He should NEVER be around anything classified again.

But this is what we are dealing with folks. Just yet another example of it. These Looneys will do ANYTHING. Then they have the MMD to back them. Look at some headlines from yesterday shall we?

Headline "Bush warns of more U.S. losses in Iraq"
What he ACTUALLY said?

"I'm not going to make predictions about what 2007 will look like in Iraq except that it's going to require difficult choices and additional sacrifices because the enemy is merciless and violent," the president said.

Headline "Bush sees setbacks in Iraq, weighs more US troops"
What he ACTUALLY said?

"They can't run us out of the Middle East," he said at a news conference. "They can't intimidate America."

"And over the course of the year they had success," Bush said. "Their success hurt our efforts to help the Iraqis rebuild their country. They set back reconciliation and kept Iraq's unity government and our coalition from establishing security and stability throughout the country."

They set THEMSELVES back. He still says we can win.

This is the best manipulated headline of the day. The honor goes to USA Today,

"Bush: 'We're not winning' in Iraq"

That’s it! He admits it. We’re not winning in Iraq. Time to pull out. Cut and run NOW. The President admits that it’s a failure.

What he ACTUALLY said?

"President Bush said Tuesday that the war in Iraq is in a stalemate and that he wants to increase the size of the Army and Marine Corps to help ease problems caused by wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"We're not winning; we're not losing," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post posted online Tuesday. It was the first time Bush said the U.S. was not winning, as he borrowed the phrase from Gen. Peter Pace. In November, before the elections, Bush had said, "Absolutely, we're winning.""

STALEMATE. WE’RE NOT LOSING. But if you read just the headlines, as a lot of people do, you would believe all is lost. You would believe that the President is worried, and is starting to loose faith in the war. This is NOT true.

Yes, the MMD loves to support the LWL. So when you have them do things and get caught, they can count on the Mass Media to ignore, wish it goes away, {As they even admitted to} and rewrite the situation to put them in a better light.

I looked ALL OVER the place for another version of the Berger story. Couldn’t find any. Not even on the wire. But this IS what you have to look foreword to for the next two years. Another thing to look out for, is their attempt to SILENCE people like me, Rush, or anyone else that disagrees with them. You know, those that like TRUTH. Make no mistake about it. The MMD want THEIR power back as well. The Power to tell you ANYTHING unchallenged.
