[B]Sandy Berger Probed Over Terror Memos [/b]

WASHINGTON — Former President Clinton's national security adviser is under criminal investigation for taking highly classified terrorism documents that should have been turned over to the independent commission probing the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, FOX News has confirmed.

Sandy Berger (search) is under scrutiny by the Justice Department (search) following the disappearance of documents he was reviewing at the National Archives.

Berger's home and office were searched earlier this year by FBI (search) agents armed with warrants after the former Clinton adviser voluntarily returned some sensitive documents to the National Archives (search) and admitted he also removed handwritten notes he had made while reviewing the sensitive documents.

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 said. Officials said the missing documents were highly classified also identify America's terror vulnerabilities at airports to seaports.

Berger and his lawyer said Monday night he knowingly removed the handwritten notes by placing them in his jacket, pants and socks, and also inadvertently took copies of actual classified documents in a leather portfolio.

"I deeply regret the sloppiness involved, but I had no intention of withholding documents from the commission, and to the contrary, to my knowledge, every document requested by the commission from the Clinton administration was produced," Berger said in a statement.

There are laws strictly governing the handling of classified information, including prohibiting unauthorized removal or release of such information.

Lanny Breuer, one of Berger's attorneys, said his client had offered to cooperate fully with the investigation but had not yet been interviewed by the FBI or prosecutors.

Nothing sloppy about sneaking documents out by hiding them in your socks - shows a desperate attempt (successful) to conceal.

but the Dem/Libs will say its Bushes fault.

what should be done is any one looking at these documents is that they strip of all their clothing, before going into the file room, and stay naked until they leave.

How would someone unknowingly smuggle out documents in their socks, pants and under the shirt -- thats concious thought for doing the -- unknowing is accidentally putting it in your own papers.

What's there to talk about? Blindfold......wall......"Ready? Aim? Fire!!!!!!" Scumbag gone. Simple...... But, we all know what will happen, like all the Reno justice dept. folks.....he'll walk. Where's a "sleeper" to wake up, when you really need one? i wonder, as a side bar, just how long that the klinton shame will hound us.

We could blast him a while before we finish him off. What a slime ball he is. He really angers Rufus with his lies, not knowing he was stealing and, saying he only took copies. Lies! Just like his mentor.... :uzi:
