Sure. Why not. The Democrats and their media allies have certainly moved on.
Of course, were we talking about Condi Rice stealing documents related to terrorism out of the National Archives it’d still be making front-page headlines.
Thats funny but true, if this was a republican that had committed the crime that Burgular had committed the MSM have tarred and and feathered him. However, since he is a democrat no harm or foul.
But we digress, as long as it is democrats committing crimes its ok, no harm no foul, kind of like Skooter Libey is in court for some thing that actually was done by Richard Armtiage was in fact the person that released the identity of Valerie Plam who of course actually hadn’t done field work in some time.

We need to know what was removed from the archives.

The treatment of Berger was shameful. He should’ve been grilled (if he wasn’t). The train is out of the station, though. Congress is limited to symbolic action, and if anything, GOP congresspeople should be directing their ire at Bush for using kid gloves with Berger.

jpe, Mr. Berger is in the clear so you’re right that train has left the station.
On the other hand we still have a vital interest in what was stolen from the archives.

We do have an interest (a huge one), but wouldn’t the legal action already taken foreclose further action? I don’t see how there’s any legal room to compel disclosure that information.
That assumes that the President doesn’t already know what was taken, which I think is an unwarranted assumption. I’d bet the President already knows what was taken.

I’m not willing to assume that Berger told the truth until we’ve done what we can to uncover the truth.
I think Bergers in the clear from further action, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t know.

I wish you would hold Bush to that standard, but I won’t hold my breath.

Don,
Berger admitted to a crime. One with treasoness implications.
Bush has committed no crime, nor been charged with one.
I know you can’t see the difference, but for the sake of other, still half-sane, liberal readers, I thought I’d point it out.

HG-- Nice post. This felon (by admission) has stolen classified Secret documents. That is a federal crime. In contrast, the “watergate” people did not steal any classified documents. Correct me if I am wrong.
