A new report by the AP has Berger fessing up (slightly) to his role in attempting to modify history:
Rather than the "honest mistake" he described last summer, Berger acknowledged to U.S. Magistrate Deborah Robinson that he intentionally took and deliberately destroyed three copies of the same document dealing with terror threats during the 2000 millennium celebration. He then lied about it to Archives staff when they told him documents were missing.
The Washington Post has a bit more:
Rather than misplacing or unintentionally throwing away three of the five copies he took from the archives, as the former national security adviser earlier maintained, he shredded them with a pair of scissors late one evening at the downtown offices of his international consulting business.
So, it's truly obvious what Berger was after now. He would like us to believe that he destroyed only three copies out of five of one classified document. But why would he destroy some copies and leave others? He clearly only destroyed the documents that had handwritten notes on them damaging to the Clinton administration dealing with anti-terrorism in the years before 9/11.

Why more people aren't enraged by this scandal, cover-up, and slap on the wrist I have no idea...
