New York Times: Buries the story at the bottom of page A16. If you can’t find the story, maybe it doesn’t exist.
Berger and one of his lawyers said he inadvertently removed copies of a classified memo and his handwritten notes on the material he reviewed, but immediately returned them when he was told by the Archives the documents were missing.
“I immediately returned everything I had, except for a few documents that apparently I had accidentally discarded,” Berger said in a statement.
Heh. “Inadvertent.” Mr. Berger, what’s that in your hand? No, the other hand. Stop playing games, Mr. Berger. Show me both hands.
Or, “I inadvertently slept with that woman, Ms. Lewinski.” Hey, that excuse works for everything.
The documents that are missing are handwritten notes about how Clinton handled terrorism threats between December 1999 and the end of his term. We certainly wouldn’t want *that* to contradict public testimony, would we, Mr. Berger?
He apparently was seen stuffing classified documents into his pants and his coat, according to some newspaper reports.
However, some drafts of a sensitive after-action report on the Clinton administration’s handling of Al Qaeda terror threats during the December 1999 millennium celebration are still missing, officials and lawyers told The Associated Press.
I can see how you could inadvertently stuff things into your pants and forget they were there. In fact, I went grocery shopping last night and…. whoa! A rhutabega! How did *that* get in there?
