If your assertion is that this is a non-story because I posted a link to Fox News, I can give you 615 other sources of the same story, according to Google. I suspect most of them are picking up the AP story but FOX AND CNN are pursuing this story aggressively today.

Here's a CNN link, if it makes you feel better:
http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/07/20/berger.probe/index.html

"A government official familiar with the investigation said that some documents are still missing."

So no, he did not take just his own notes out (which is a crime in and of itself). According to this CNN report, he removed and presumably disposed of classified documents related to the Clinton administration's posture RE Al Quaeda. Sounds like a shell game to me--let's shred the Clinton ineptitude and blame Bush!

OK, sarcasm is subtle, so I'll spell it out. I don't give a rat's ass about the veracity of this story. I'm not defending the Clinton administration, I'm merely pointing out that the Fox network, and any other network echoing their approach, is wasting our time badgering past officials when far worse is going on right under our noses.

Ignoring Bush's blatant transgressions while vigorously chasing down Clinton's (he's not president anymore) just makes them look like vindictive and partisan lackeys, not to mention eager vendors of propaganda. Go Democracy!

And I actually thought this was going to be about Bush. How thilly of me.

Well, the Select Committee On Intelligence and the Bulter Report are each over 500 pages.
I'd better get reading. After all, the 9/11 Commission Report is coming out Thursday. AHHH ! (rubs hands) Fresh meat. REAL information.
