I found this paragraph in the Washington Post account a little surreal:
The government source said the Archives employees were deferential toward Berger, given his prominence, but were worried when he returned to view more documents on Oct. 2. They devised a coding system and marked the documents they knew Berger was interested in canvassing, and watched him carefully. They knew he was interested in all the versions of the millennium review, some of which bore handwritten notes from Clinton-era officials who had reviewed them. At one point an Archives employee even handed Berger a coded draft and asked whether he was sure he had seen it.
At the end of the day, Archives employees determined that that draft and all four or five other versions of the millennium memo had disappeared from the files, this source said.
This suggests that Berger was trying to purloin potentially embarrassing data on his tenure. That’s astonishing. Meanwhile, the New York Times finally puts the story on A1 – but only as a device to finger the Bush administration. C’mon, Keller. You can do better.
