1490 What Media Bias, pt. 3

Sandy Berger has received a $50,000 fine and probation for stealing and destroying documents from the National Archives right before the 9/11 Commission and then lying about it. A much more serious crime in my opinion than Martha's, but I digress, and besides, she is a woman and in business and the rules are different.

The AP story uses the following verbs in this story about the former Clinton official:

"taking classified documents"

"sneaking classified documents" . . ."in his suit"

"destroying [classified documents]"

"unauthorized removal and retention"

"improperly took classified documents."

Unless I missed it, Associated Press is not part of the gov't, but is certainly its liberal apologist.

And no, I don't agree with your basic tenet that our entire gov't is corrupt. Individuals with power and other people's money do seem to have difficulty controlling themselves.
