A Crime or Just Politics?

On the April 2 front page was a non-story about former national security advisor Samuel R. “Sandy” Berger, “Top Clinton Aide Admits He Pilfered Documents” -- a criminal case that was politically driven by the GOP to embarrass a Clinton appointee. The Times says that Berger “pilfered” documents. But the main point was buried: The documents were available to the 9/11 commission.

It is amazing to me that Berger admitted that he stole classified documents, destroyed some, lied about it and the recommendation for sentencing is only a fine and being stripped of his security clearance for three years. Martha Stewart lied and got jail time.
