What Did Kerry Know and When Did He Know It?

John Kerry campaign advisor and former Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy Berger has admitted stealing classified terrorism-related documents.

Berger and his lawyer said Monday night that he knowingly removed handwritten notes he had taken from classified anti-terrorist documents he reviewed at the National Archives by sticking them in his jacket and pants. He also inadvertently took copies of actual classified documents in a leather portfolio, they said.

But, after admitting that he took them intentionally, Berger tries to mimic his former boss: “In the course of reviewing over several days thousands of pages of documents on behalf of the Clinton administration in connection with requests by the Sept. 11 commission, I inadvertently took a few documents from the Archives,” Berger said.

As he now works for John Kerry, it's worth pondering, has John Kerry seen any of these documents? And, what plans did he have for them?

“When I was informed by the Archives that there were documents missing, I immediately returned everything I had except for a few document that I apparently had accidentally discarded,” he said.
