GOP leaders seek probe of Berger papers

By ERICA WERNER, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 29 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - A group of House Republicans called Wednesday for a congressional investigation into the improper handling of classified documents by President Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger.

Berger admitted last year that he deliberately took classified documents out of the National Archives in 2003 and destroyed some of them at his office. He pleaded guilty in federal court to one charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material and was fined $50,000.

Ten lawmakers led by House Armed Services Chairman Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., and Judiciary Chairman James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., released a letter calling for the House Government Reform Committee to investigate.

3. Pathetic!
Clinton's blow job and Kennedy's car accident is all they've been able to get in 37 years.

7. .
It's the first time that I heard that he destroyed some documents.
I read that his actions had no impact but it is still somehow strange that he did it...
