SLOPPY = CRIMINAL
There's nothing sloppy about walking out of a room with classified documents. In fact, you were anything but sloppy if you succeeded. The goverment takes the care of classified national security documents quite seriously, and it is doubtful they'd have allowed John Kerry's foreign policy advisor, Sandy Berger, to carry a brief case into the room so he could easily remove documents. Chances are, if he took them out of there, he consciously concealed them, although his people deny he stuffed them "in his socks". How bout his underwear?

And now we have to ask, what was in the Richard Clarke memo about the Clinton Administration's efforts to deal with terrorism that made it important enough to smuggle away. And where is it now? And why did he have to take his notes with him, which themselves become secret and are subject to handling under the same requirements as the classified documents from which they were taken? He must know that after serving as National Security advisor. I knew it with a very low security clearance.

And did John Kerry, Berger's current boss, know anything about it? I'm just asking. These are certainly fine things to consider on the eve of the Democratic National Convention in Boston.
