WASHINGTON - A day after former national security adviser Sandy Berger described his handling of classified terrorism documents as “an honest mistake,” Democrats assailed Republican critics who suggested that Berger sought to hide embarrassing materials.
The presidential campaign of Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts accused the Bush White House of disclosing the existence of a criminal investigation for political advantage. After news of the investigation surfaced, Berger, who served in the Clinton administration, quit as an informal adviser to the Kerry campaign Tuesday to limit the political fallout.
The investigation of Berger began in October, but came to light only this week as the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks was preparing to issue its final report on Thursday.
