Byron York over at the National Review Online has an interesting piece on the growing Berger Scandal. And he suggests something rather important: why would Berger have taken ---accidentally, of course--- the same 15-page document on multiple visits? What was different about each of them? There must have been some sort of difference between the drafts of this same after-action report, else why take more than one?
[...A]lthough Berger said he reviewed thousands of pages, he apparently homed in on a single document: the so-called "after-action report" on the Clinton administration's handling of the millennium plot of 1999/2000. Berger is said to have taken multiple copies of the same paper. He is also said to have taken those copies on at least two different days. There have been no reports that he took any other documents, which suggests that his choice of papers was quite specific, and not the result of simple carelessness.
Everyone knows the first drafts are the rawest: full of first blushes and unrefined crude. Maybe even riddled with inconvenient notations and directions. So was Berger sent on a mission by Bill Clinton to revise or conceal their thoughts and deeds and stave off the questions of their mutual disregard for the war that al-Qaeda had declared upon us? I wouldn't doubt it.
