'Socks, Scissors, Paper: The Sandy Berger Caper'

Read this and then see the Fox special.

Brachfeld says major questions remain over the extent of Berger’s theft of top secret "code word" documents, and the resulting damage done to the country’s national security. Code word documents are so highly classified that only a handful of people are ever allowed to read them.

The Fox program also reveals:

— There was a deep division inside the Justice Department about how to handle Berger, who ultimately was allowed to plead to misdemeanor charges, pay a small fine and avoid jail.

— DOJ lawyers involved in the case failed to let the 9/11 Commission know the scope and seriousness of the security breach, despite direct orders from top Justice officials.

— Contrary to the assurances the Justice Department made to Congress and to the 9/11 Commission, nobody but Berger can know whether he kept key documents and information about Clinton administration anti-terror efforts from the Commission.

— Berger’s lies were far more extensive than previously revealed.

— That no full assessment of the damage to national security has been conducted.

— That the Justice Department, in a break with precedent and procedure, relied on Berger’s statements despite a record that showed a history of lies.
