SANDY BERGER UPDATE: The Wall Street Journal editorializes:
We’ve all had experience with the office Oscar Madison. Yet notwithstanding Bill Clinton’s transparently insincere effort last week to laugh off the docs-in-socks scandal as a testament to Sandy Berger’s sloppy ways–that Sandy!–the precision with which the former National Security Adviser zeroed in on one specific document in the National Archives suggests focus, not absentmindedness.
Which raises the obvious question: What was in that document that Mr. Berger so badly wanted to keep under his hat, er, trousers? The only way to answer that question is for the Justice Department to release it.
The document itself may, of course, be too sensitive to release in its entirety. But I’d sure like to know what Sandy was trying to remove. Or, perhaps, insert.
