After all this time, we still don't really know what Sandy Berger stole from the National Archives. All we know is that stealing from the archives is a felony, but despite stuffing documents in his socks and down his pants, Berger got just a slap on the wrist.

Here's the thing... What he stole may have been nothing, just some papers that had personal notes written in the margins or something. But why go through so much trouble for that. More likely what he stole and destroyed was a lot more important, but we'll never know. It may have been evidence which would partially destroy the legacy of the Clinton years, or it may have been evidence which would vindicate Bush in his WMD search, or maybe it was evidence that Clinton knew all about Al Queada and decided to ignore it and leave it for the next guy. Who knows, but I have to assume that whatever it was, it was pretty damn important. Not only will we never know, but the perpetrator of the crime has gotten away scot-free.
