The WP now has a story up on "trousergate" that reads like a rewrite of the AP one. Notice how often "inadvertently" is used in the headline and lede to tone the story down. I wonder if Berger was in Los Alamos lately? :>)

Glenn Reynolds says:

I don't know what's more appalling -- the thought that Berger is covering up some dreadful failing, or the thought that the man in charge of national security for much of the Clinton administration is utterly incompetent at handling supersecret national security documents.

FBI Probes Berger for Document Removal

The FBI is investigating Clinton administration national security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger's removal of classified documents from the National Archives, attorneys for Berger confirmed last night.




Berger inadvertently took copies of several versions of an after-action memo on the millennium bombing plot from the Archives last fall, said his attorney Lanny Breuer. The lawyer said one or more of the copies were then inadvertently discarded.
