Well, at least there is one bright thing to happen in an otherwise sad day.  Clinton's former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger will plead guilty to taking classified documents from the National Archives.  He's expected to appear in federal court Friday.

I discussed this story last summer (see "Sandy Berger is busted" from my best posts on the sidebar).  Even to this day Berger has not brought back some of the materials that he stole from the National Archives last summer.  Berger took the notes and documents and placed them into his pockets and pants, which bore the name of the scandal, "TrouserGate".  At the time, Berger was an advisor to John Kerry.

Now I'm not stupid; it's very doubtful that Berger ever serves a lick of time in jail.  I want to know exactly what he took, however.  According to the AP, Berger took information "related" to a 2000 report on how the Clinton Administration reacted to terrorism prior to the millenium bombings.  I've always thought there was more to this story than we were being told.

Finally, the AP snuck this little tidbit in:

Many Democrats, including former President Clinton, suggested politics were behind disclosure of the probe only days before the release of the Sept. 11 commission report, which Republicans feared would be a blow to President Bush's re-election campaign.

Of course, this was nothing but a hollow accusation, but why should that stop the AP from mentioning it anyway?
