Sandy Berger - And his integrity?
Mr. Berger is virtually getting a free pass from the media.
And I still can't believe he was a President's NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR...
And I still can't believe he was a President's NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR...
In the New York Sun, R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. keeps following this story:
"Yet now Mr. Berger's story has taken a more serious turn. As part of his 2005 plea agreement, Mr. Berger promised to take a lie detector test. He never did. This week in a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, 18 Republican congressmen have asked that the Justice Department proceed with the polygraph testing of Mr. Berger. It is more critical today than it might have been back in April 2005.
This autumn a congressional committee made an astounding discovery regarding the contents of Mr. Berger's socks. The archives had failed to catalogue the materials that they gave him to review. No one aside from Mr. Berger has any idea what he took from the archives. He may have doctored documents. He may have destroyed documents. There have been many distinguished former government officials who lived to write their version of the history they participated in. Sandy Berger is the rare government official who has lived to erase history. A polygraph test might reveal how much history he erased."
