[Jim Rarey]

-Caveat Lector- Kerry campaign adviser Sandy Berger removed secret terrorism documents from a 9/11 Commission reading room on no fewer than five occasions, his lawyer Lanny Breuer admitted late Monday night. So much for inadvertence!!.   Why hasn't Berger been indicted yet. There is no indication prosecutors are even going to file criminal charges. Any bets? - JR     http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/7/20/110408.shtml     Tuesday, July 20, 2004 11:02 a.m. EDT WSJ: Berger Took Secret 9/11 Docs on Five Occasions Kerry campaign adviser Sandy Berger removed secret terrorism documents from a 9/11 Commission reading room on no fewer than five occasions, his lawyer Lanny Breuer admitted late Monday night. Breuer told the Wall Street Journal that his client, who served previously as the Clinton administration's national security adviser, inadvertently removed several copies of an after-action report on the foiled 1999 Millennium bomb plot during two separate visits to the top secret facility. Story Continues Below Breuer said also that Berger deliberately removed handwritten notes that he made during three additional visits to the Archives last fall to review classified documents. Breuer said removing those notes was a violation of National Archives policy, and that Berger regretted the action. "He knew it was a technical violation, and he admits that it was an error in judgment." But according to New York civil rights lawyer Ron Kuby, Berger's decision to remove his notes wasn't just a "technical violation." "You're not permitted to remove anything from that room - period," he said Tuesday morning. "And that means even your notes. If you're taking notes about classified information, those notes are now classified. They're placed in a secure area. You can have access to them only while being viewed by a security officer. Nothing gets removed." Even if Berger had removed only his personal notes on classified material, it would still be a crime, said Kuby, who learned about classified reading room procedures during his own involvement in the trial of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers.   www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
