Allow me to take all the Radical Progressive Liberal Larrys and Lindas back in time long, long ago when a former National Security Adviser went into the National Archives and stole classified information! Sandy Berger removed “highly classified documents from the National Archives” and intentionally destroyed them. gasp! Highly Classified documents! He is a foreign agent and should be charged with the espionage act and investigated for treason! Correct? He was sentenced to 100hrs of community service and probation and fined $50,000.
I wonder how the Democrats feel about this Bill Clinton aide? Should we remain consistent and treat everyone the same? Or do we ask for the death penalty for some and allow others to get off with a small fine? Any sort of consistency from the Democratic party would be greatly appreciated.
He stated that he destroyed these documents in an attempt to prepare himself to assist with the 9/11 commission.

Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger was sentenced Thursday to community service and probation and fined $50,000 for illegally removing highly classified documents from the National Archives and intentionally destroying some of them.
"I deeply regret the actions that I took at the National Archives two years ago, and I accept the judgment of the court," Berger said outside the courthouse after his sentencing.
"I'm glad that the 9/11 commission has made clear that it received all the documents that it sought, all the documents that it needed, and I'm pleased to finally have this matter resolved," he added.
At that time, he said the reason he took the documents was so he could prepare himself and others to assist the 9/11 commission, which investigated the circumstances surrounding the 2001 terrorist attacks and published a report of its findings last year.
According to the charges, Berger -- between September 2 and October 2, 2003 -- "knowingly removed classified documents from the National Archives and Records Administration and stored and retained such documents at places," such as his private Washington office.
Berger's associates admit he took five copies of an after-action report detailing the 2000 millennium terror plot from the Archives. The aides say Berger returned to his office, discovered that three of the copies appeared to be duplicates and cut them up with scissors.
