OLBERMANN: And there was one more development today on the broad front of terror, terror investigations and the 9/11 Commission.
It appears that former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger has been cleared of taking original classified documents accidentally or intentionally out of the National Archives. Last week, only days before the 9/11 Commission was due to report, somebody leaked the fact that Berger was the focus of a criminal investigation for having taken documents from those archives. One version had him stuffing them into his socks, the implication, he was trying to withhold information from the 9/11 Commission.
The timing of the leak suspicious because the infraction of it allegedly occurred last October. “The Wall Street Journal” reporting today that the National Archives has told the paper it is—quote—“confident that there aren‘t any original documents missing in this case.” Berger reviewed only photocopies. He admitted to taking some of them inadvertently, but insisted he had returned them. And officials have accounted for all originals to which he had access.
No apology from House Majority Tom DeLay, who, evoking Watergate, had called the episode a—quote—“third-rate burglary.”
