He has confessed to being careless and taken some copies of classified documents that he should not have. That's a crime. It remains to be seen if he will be prosecuted for it. But there is no doubt it is a crime. His "being careless" can be plead as "extenuating circumstances" if he is sentenced. If what he says is true, then there has also been another serious crime committed - perhaps even more serious than the crime Berger committed. And that is, some one leaked this story two days before the 911 committee was to release their report to obfuscate real serious national security issues. Life and death issues. That is not a crime. And not chargeable as one. You may not like that fact, but that's the way it is.

Don't worry, the more likely target was Kerry and the Democratic National Convention. Who are, no doubt, planning to capitalize on the 9/11 report during the Convention, don't you think? Is politics a crime? Good thing for Washington you don't make the laws. ;^)
