Not a list mom, and don't even play one on TV, but this is starting to slip
into Saklad/MSL territory...
If you think Fox News has an axe to grind, DON'T WATCH IT. If you think the
other mainstream media has axes to grind, DON'T WATCH/READ THEM. If you want
to post something that is records-related, such as a Fox News story or a
conflicting story from CNN, do post the links - BUT LEAVE THE POLITICAL
COMMENTARY OFF THE LIST. Please.
As I noted earlier in the thread I'm probably the biggest political junkie
on the list. And I'd be happy to take on Attila the Hun or Markos Moulitsas
and have 'em skipping rope in a couple hours. But this ain't the forum.
We're all big kids here - speaking for myself, I'm pretty good at sifting
the nuggets of truth from the maelstrom of spin and I bet most of you are
too. So I don't need someone else on the list spinning the spinning spin for
me.
So can we let this thread spin itself into the ground and move back into at
least marginally records-related stuff, at least until Friday?
Thanks for your support.

but at the time of the 2004 story we did not have the NARA IG's report.
lets look at this a different way. did Sandy Berger receive
preferential treatment that others who had been caught mishandling
confidential information did not?
take a look at this piece from the WSJ about Larry Franklin.
http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009887
or what about Ira Deutch?
Remember the IG's report wasn't issued until Dec 2006, which is why
this issue is back on the radar screen
for those who haven't read the report just go to anyone of the
following websites
www.fas.org/sgp/othergov/berger.pdf
http://pajamasmedia.com/upload/2006/12/Berger-report.pdf
or go here to the listserv archives
http://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0612d&L=recmgmt-l&T=0&P=1810
and if you want to see all the stories related to this case from RAIN
just go to the recmgmt-l listserv's search page
http://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=RECMGMT-L
put (sandy Berger) in the first line, use RAIN in the subject line
then do the search
if you do that search I think you will find that very little was
reported on the Berger incident. shoot even the venerable gray lady -
NYTimes barely reported on the incident
http://shrinkster.com/nkx
note that they don't even have a story about the IG's report
