The definition of a traitor is one who violates his allegiance and betrays his country*. Sandy Berger is exactly that person and he should wear that brand forever in American history.

*Note to idiots and the New York Times: there is no good reason to do this.

Under a trailer.

Oh, my: Former national security adviser Sandy Berger removed classified documents from the National Archives in 2003 and hid them under a construction trailer, the Archives inspector general reported Wednesday.

The report was issued more than a year after Berger pleaded guilty and received a criminal sentence for removal of the documents.

Inspector General Paul Brachfeld reported that when Berger was confronted by Archives officials about the missing documents, he said it was possible he threw them in his office trash.

The report said that when Archives employees first suspected that Berger - who had been President Clinton's national security adviser - was removing classified documents from the Archives in the fall of 2003, they failed to notify any law enforcement agency.

Berger, who pleaded guilty to unlawfully removing and retaining classified documents, was fined $50,000, ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and was barred from access to classified material for three years.

The report said that when Berger was reviewing the classified documents in the Archives building a few blocks from the Capitol, employees saw him bending down and fiddling with something white, which could have been paper, around his ankle.

However, Archives employees did not feel at the time there was enough information to confront someone of Berger's stature, the report said.

Brachfeld reported that on one visit, Berger took a break to go outside without an escort.

"In total, during this visit, he removed four documents ...

"Mr. Berger said he placed the documents under a trailer in an accessible construction area outside Archives 1 (the main Archives building)."

Per Malkin:
Sandy Berger: Guilty
Berger and a side order of lies
Berger's "copies"
Ground turkey Berger
Sandy Berg(l)er?

Bill Crawford at All Things Conservative:

And while all this was happening, the left was screaming for Karl Rove's head for doing...nothing.
But let's be fair, the left believes in law and order, as long as it doesn't get in the way of their rewriting history.

Remember: Sandy Berger was President Bill Clinton's National Security Advisor.

Sandy Berger stole and destroyed classified government documents in preparation for testfying to that very same government on his role as NSA to President Clinton. He got off with a fine and a holiday from the MSM.

Contrast that to the MSM's handling of the so-called Foley scandal. Or the fact that Tom Delay stepped down from the Republican leadership when he was accused of a wrongdoing. Despite resigning upon hearing the accusations, and no court having found him guilty of anything at all, DeLay is regularly slandered by the SPs who despise him.

Imagine if Tom DeLay had done what Sandy Berger had done, and you'll have an idea of the blinders now in fashion throughout the MSM.
