Berger With All The Fixings
By Paul on Politics - Wizbang blog

In an effort to keep current with this (now) fast breaking story but not making 50 posts, I'm going to be updating this post thru-out the day. Sometimes the updates will get ahead of the links.

WSJ (subscription but) via NewsMax- Bergler took classified information on 5 occasions. (So much for the "They fell into my socks" defense.)

CNN TV- 3 lawmen have told CNN he put documents in his socks. (if this is just a rumor, it is a big one)

CNN TV- Berger has tried to cop a plea many times but DOJ passed. (That ain't good)

CNN- "A government source told CNN that some of the documents at issue were classified as "code word" materials -- the highest level of security, making them more closely held than nuclear secret"

CNSNews- 'Socks' Give Berger Story Legs, Former Clinton Official Says -- I linked this just for the head. Stephanie gets this one right in some ways.

NRO has a good story with details left out of many news reports. (multiple times, what he took, threat review)

Denver Post today (Drudge last night) Clinton thinks the whole thing is funny. "'We were all laughing about it,' Clinton said about the investigation into Sandy Berger for taking classified terrorism documents from the National Archives. "

Bill, it seems to me that though the NSA is doing a good job of monitoring international telephone calls, it seems daunting if not impossible for the NSA to be able to monitor emails, IMs and, soon, VoIP calls, particularly if they are encrypted. The traffic is simply too large.

We'll soon see the use of one time pads and coded messages being delivered orally, neither of which can be deciphered.
