Berger Going To Jail?
If you recall several months ago it was reported that Sandy Berger had illegally stolen and destroyed code word level secret documents that contained unique notes he had written while serving as the Clinton administration National Security Advisor. When this happened one of my friends who had recently worked for a defense contractor (and could not even tell me exactly what it was he did because it was secret) asked me if I thought Berger would go to jail. My friend was sure that if he had been caught doing anything like that with the information he had while working for the defense contractor he would be in jail right now and his information was not nearly as classified as what Berger stole. I responded to his question by saying that I thought Berger should go to prison, but that he probably would not. It looks like I may have been too cynical as the investigation has been proceeding without much publicity. There is now even a federal grand jury investigation and the FBI and prosecuters have interviewed Berger who admits to stealing the documents.
