Sandy Bergler, nixing a plan to capture Bin Laden, per handwritten notation on one of the documents he stuffed down his shorts. Some other pilifered papers included documents stating that a millenium terror attack on the US was thwarted by pure luck, and not by administrative vigilance, as claimed by Mr. Berger in his testimony before the 9/11 commission.

The Memogate thing was loads of fun and exposed a serious problem in mainstream journalistic practices, but it seems unlikely that any laws were broken. This on the other hand, involves a former Security Director stealing Code Word documents (above Top Secret) from the National Archives to benefit either the Kerry campaign, to which Berger was an advisor, to hurt the Bush campaign by impugning its anti-terrorism efforts in testimony before the 9/11 commission, or to stave off embarrasment to himself and the Clinton administration. Or all three. Regardless of the motives, the actions constitute a serious felony and deserve a full investigation and prosecution.
