Berger Cleared Of Document Theft... Will Mediawhores Bother To Mention It?

[KittyWampus]

Apparently, only a local radio news outlet (see link below) has this posted so far.


Clinton Adviser Berger Cleared of Document Theft

President Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger -- who'd been accused of stealing classified
material from the National Archives -- has been cleared of all wrongdoing.
The National Archives and the Justice Department have concluded nothing is missing and nothing in the
Clinton administration's record was withheld from the 9-11 Commission.


The Wall Street Journal reports archives staff have accounted for all classified documents Berger looked at.

Late last year they asked investigators to see if the former national security adviser removed materials
during his visits.

Berger's lawyers said his client had inadvertently removed several photocopies of reports, but later
returned them.

4. Let's see...

it's Friday afternoon, after the Dems convention, Bush is on a whirlwind tour of the midwest.

My guess is that we'll not see much written about it.

6. One local outlet and, oh yeah, the WALL STREET JOURNAL!

Funny how no media outlets have picked that up.

8. Poo! Link doesn't work. Got another one? This is IMPORTANT!

Thanks for posting about this! As expected, THIS is the only place I'd be able to find such a story. It's not like our vigilant media would want to bother their beautiful minds reporting it...

16. Works! Thanks SO MUCH! CALL CNN AND DEMAND THEY COVER IT.

(404) 827 - 0234 - when it connects, press 8 to bypass most of the recorded message and get to a human being. I just did, and the woman who answered said she was going to pass it to the producers right away. DO IT, GUYS! OTHERWISE IT'LL BE CONVENIENTLY FORGOTTEN!!!!

11. Newsmax is now denying Berger was cleared...

if you Google "Berger cleared" and press the news tab, the only recent article shown is:

Archives Denies Report That Berger Is in the Clear

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.

18. He's not "cleared"...

...What's important that the Archives have confirmed that no original documents are missing and that he was mostly given photocopies to work with, which pours water on the RW spin that he was trying to destroy documents to cover the Clinton Administration's tracks.

[Literate Tar Heel]

13. I don't see why they would

after all, it doesn't seem to benefit Bush in any way

[brook]

14. I just emailed...

Keith Oberman and suggested he check this out. Keith's been open before aboout WH news manipulation - so I'm hoping he'll take me up on this.
