Now what did Kerry know and when did he know it? How many other national security criminals are there on Kerry's staff? Why does he continue to retain Joe Wilson?

Berger Steps Down As Kerry Adviser
Ass'd PressJul 20 | RON FOURNIER

WASHINGTON (AP) - Former national security adviser Sandy Berger, the subject of a criminal investigation over the disappearance of terrorism documents, stepped aside on Tuesday as an informal adviser to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.

"Mr. Berger does not want any issue surrounding the 9/11 commission to be used for partisan purposes. With that in mind he has decided to step aside as an informal adviser to the Kerry campaign until this matter is resolved," said Lanny Breuer, Berger's attorney.

The investigation had threatened to become a political problem for Kerry a week before his nominating convention in Boston in which he hopes to persuade voters that he is ready to be commander in chief. The cornerstone of Kerry's argument against Bush is that he used faulty intelligence and poor judgment in waging war against Iraq.

Berger, former President Clinton's national security adviser, is under criminal investigation by the Justice Department after highly classified terrorism documents disappeared while he was reviewing what should be turned over to the Sept. 11 commission.

Berger's home and office were searched earlier this year by FBI agents armed with warrants after the former Clinton adviser voluntarily returned some sensitive documents to the National Archives and admitted he also removed handwritten notes he had made while reviewing the sensitive documents.

However, some drafts of a sensitive after-action report on the Clinton administration's handling of al-Qaida terror threats during the December 1999 millennium celebration are still missing, officials and lawyers told The Associated Press.

..and................ John flushes him...

He says nothing about Berger being innocent, not a word of support for someone who, up till now has been a close advisor. Perhaps Kerry has had access to the stolen documents all this time.... :think:

I wonder who the Dim's are going to nominate now... :p

WASHINGTON, July 20 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) released the following statement today on Samuel R. Berger:

"Sandy Berger is my friend, and he has tirelessly served this nation with honor and distinction. I respect his decision to step aside as an adviser to the campaign until this matter is resolved objectively and fairly."

Apparently there's been a 10 month investigation centered around Berger. Something's given Kerry reason to distance himself from Berger like this... possibly a grand jury indictment? What does that say about Kerry's judgment if the person he trusts to give him good advice about national security is, himself, a security risk and a thief?

Much more significant crime was carried out by the Bush Administration. How can we re-elect an administration that gives away the identity of undercover CIA agent, threatening their life?

Especially the one that gave them clear evidence that war was baseless and unnecessary. Think of all the lives and money wasted when the Bush Administration knew they were wrong :eviltongu

NewsHour - July 8th - PBS.org

The search for an alleged leak from the Bush White House that exposed an undercover CIA operative recently reached the Oval Office.

President Bush was questioned for 70 minutes two weeks ago by the federal prosecutor investigating the case.

The exposed operative is the wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Wilson was sent by the CIA in February 2002 to investigate intelligence claims that Iraq had sought to buy nuclear material from the West African nation of Niger.

He found the reports groundless and advised the CIA. Despite Wilson's warning, the president pointed to the alleged uranium purchase in last year's state of the union address as evidence that Iraq sought banned weapons...

If anyone has a subsription to the Wall Street Journal... please pull a N8 with a copy and paste job - late in the week they ran an article that said the National Archives had cleared Sany Berger of wrong doing and that the investigation was closed. All "missing" documents were found to have never left the National Archives building - all Sandy Berger took with him were his notes. I find it very interesting that FOX News, who made a massive issue over this flap, chose to ignore this latest developement. Probably doesn't support their preferred view of current events.

If N8 had any balls he'd post it himself. :nuts:

Archives Denies Report That Berger Is in the Clear
NewsMax.com | Friday, July 30, 2004

A senior spokeswoman for the National Archives denied a report Friday morning that Archives officials have cleared former Kerry-Edwards campaign adviser Sandy Berger on charges that he withheld documents from the 9/11 Commission.

"In spite of what the Wall Street Journal said, the National Archives really isn't commenting on this case because it's under investigation," Susan Cooper, chief spokeswoman for the Archives, told NewsMax.com.

The Journal reported in Friday editions:
"Officials looking into the removal of classified documents from the National Archives by former Clinton National Security Advisor Samuel Berger say no original materials are missing and nothing Mr. Berger reviewed was withheld from the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. ... The conclusion by Archives officials and others would seem to lay to rest the issue of whether any information was permanently destroyed or withheld from the commission."

The Journal report was picked up by ABC Radio network news, which further misreported the story by saying that the Justice Department had cleared Sandy Berger of all charges.

But Ms. Cooper disputed the claim that she or any other Archives official had said any such thing.

"We really have had nothing to say and will continue to have nothing to say about the particulars of the [Berger] case," Cooper told NewsMax. "I gather that there's somebody else in the food chain that has been talking about the case but it's not at the Archives."

In keeping with her no-comment policy, the Archives chief spokeswoman declined to confirm an earlier Washington Post report that Berger had destroyed four of the six copies of the Millennium Plot After Action Review stored in Archives files.

Cooper also declined to say whether draft copies of the document with original notes in the margins were among the papers Berger's lawyer Lanny Breuer said his client had "discarded."
