Taking Out the Trash

Sandy Berger, National Security Advisor to President Bill Clinton hid Secret Documents CNN reports. The documents looked at the response of the Clinton Administration to the threat from Terrorism.

Fox News Reports on the case, ' Berger pleaded guilty to unlawfully removing and retaining classified documents. He was fined $50,000, ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and was barred from access to classified material for three years. ' The Report on the case has security restrictions.

The Washington Post states the following on the case, ' What Berger did, and the ham-handed and comical methods by which he did it, are freshly detailed in the National Archives report, which the Associated Press obtained first under a Freedom of Information Act request. '

If Berger had been a Republican, VIEWS thinks the Elite Media would have played the story more.

The Xmas Season

The end of the year has seen press reports that the cash for honours enquiry is looking in to acts that could be seen as perverting the course of justice, it should be recalled that it was not Watergate that bought down Richard Nixon it was the cover up afterwards. It should be pointed out that as of now there has been no charges bought, arrests yes but no formal charges. The New Year is should be interesting, will there by further arrests and charges and will cash for honours scandal cost any one a job.

In the Pentagon Robert Gates has taken over, and it is reported that the President is going to send more troops to Iraq not less, the Iraq Study Group report has been to use a sporting term, benched. The Former Secretary of State, Colin Powell is not impressed with the idea of sending more troops to Iraq. Hillary Clinton is shifting to left to regain her leadership of the Liberal wing of the Democratic Party; the Senator has stated she is opposed to more troops. The Prospect of Edwards, Gore, Obama coming from her left must becoming a valid worry for the Junior Senator form New York.
