July 31, 2004 Conflicting reports tell us that Mr. Berger will be “cleared of all charges” (WSJ) and "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. Ms. Cooper went on to say that there are two key issues under consideration: Whether or not information was “permanently” destroyed and/or withheld from the 9/11 Commission. WSJ reported that Archives officials said that “no original materials are missing” and “nothing Mr. Berger reviewed was withheld from the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.” This report was denied by Ms. Cooper on Friday July 30. Let’s assume (by no means proven at this point), for the sake of argument, that WSJ’s report IS accurate. Does that mean that Mr. Berger’s covert document-stuffing shenanigans (Archives’ monitors observed this), his (supposed) destruction of document copies and his advising National Archive monitors to “leave the room” while he (ostensibly) made an important and “private” phone call were and are acceptable by Archives officials? Each one of those actions is criminal and not just a “mild breach of protocol” as many would have us believe. One of my original questions from my July 22 article (“Sandy Berger Stuffing Documents Down His Pants [Part 3]”) was: “Will dems continue to be given a pass and allowed get away with criminal behavior (or the appearance thereof) whenever they decide it’s necessary?” The real problem and danger of this fiasco is that it impacts each and every one of us. Our country’s national security is in extreme jeopardy from off-shore terrorists. These terrorists will use any and all advantages to attack and kill each and every one of us. The have said so. Could the Wall Street Journal be correct and is Berger going to be given a wink and a nod? Are we, as citizens of the United States, going to allow appointed and elected officials to continue to get away with these charades? If we do, it will maintain the mockery that security is our most important consideration. Our lives and the continuation of the US as a sovereign and ethical nation are at stake. Too much has, already, been lost.
