Berger is in trouble for giving gov't secrets to a US Senator? |
|
That seems to be the "worst case scenario" playing out on the news.
What's wrong with me that I don't see this as a big deal?
Shouldn't Senators have access to secret information? If not, how do we expect them to make decisions about legislation?

1. Not everyone with a top secret clearance. . . |
|
has proper clearance for all top secret information. I once held a Top Secret EBI clearance, yet the range of information I was privy to was quite limited. Secrets are divulged only to those properly cleared and with a "need to know."

I'm hearing they are freaked because Berger gave the info to Kerry. The docs he took out were copies so how could there be a cover-up? We still have the originals.
How can Bush complain that Kerry got info from Berger about a report that Berger wrote about something that happened in 2000?
this IS a non issue? At least Gergen is honest and getting some air time.

3. The State Department believes that |
|
the people that we, the so-called informed electorate, elect to represent us, shouldn't know what is going on, because if they did, they might actually tell us.

4. So, I guess Bush's buddy Chalabi giving secret codes to Iran |
|
is no biggie. Gee, how long did that one last? The media grew tired of that one before it even got off the ground! God those people make me sick.
