WASHINGTON - Former national security adviser Sandy Berger will plead guilty to taking classified material from the National Archives, a misdemeanor, the Justice Department said Thursday.

Berger is expected to appear in federal court in Washington on Friday, said Justice spokesman Bryan Sierra.

The former Clinton administration official previously acknowledged he removed from the National Archives copies of documents about the government's anti-terror efforts and notes that he took on those documents. He said he was reviewing the materials to help determine which Clinton administration documents to provide to the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

He called the episode "an honest mistake," and denied criminal wrongdoing.

The guy stole classified government documents from the National Archives by stuffing them down his pants. He has not returned all of the documents. And it's an "honest mistake???" :eek:

My bet is that he is "taking one for the team." I doubt he'll spend a single day in prison and that key party benefactors will cough up the cost of any fine that may be assessed.
 
He also has a gun down his pants...

:p That reminds me of R. Lee Ermy and his recruits in Full Metal Jacket marching and singing "this is my rifle and this is my gun. This is for fighting and this is for fun"
 
I gave this some deeper thought. In my interpretation of this event, Berger was on a seek and destroy mission. He is guilty alright. He is a terrorist, a traitor and is a proven threat to national security. Death penalty should apply.
