Stuffing Papers Down Your Pants XII
In an article on Pajamas Media, Annie Jacobsen offers a possible explanation for the papers Sandy Berger was stuffing down his pants way back in 2004. It appears the Clinton administration may have tried to assassinate Osama Bin Laden well before 9/11.

Stuffing Papers Down Your Pants VI
Instapundit gives detail on Berger's conduct, which makes it impossible to give any credence to the inadvertence "defense," to the extent it is a defense. He also reprints the following reader email and makes a comment:
Indeed. It would be interesting. But what mainstream news organization would do that? Probably none.

I work with classified documents and while it is true that violations of procedure are not uncommon, it is extremely rare, at least in my corner of the world, to see something like this. I can't even take a briefcase into the unclassified reading room at the National Archives, yet Berger is stuffing classified documents into a leather bag?! I know that the Clinton people were famous (infamous?) for lax document security, but I have trouble imagining that a former NSA can be this incompetent. Samuel L. Morison spent over a year in Federal prison for sending classified satellite photos of a Soviet carrier under construction to Jane's Defense Weekly and I don't see how what he did is any worse that what Berger has done.
I've gotten a lot of emails along these lines from federal employees who work with classified documents. It would be interesting to see a news story interviewing some people like that, and looking at what happens to worker-bee types who violate security this way.

Second, keep applying the Condi Rice test. If Dr. Rice had been caught stuffing her blouse with highly classified handwritten notes from the days after 9/11, what would be going on in D.C. right now? Do you think The Today Show could have found someone to criticize Rice on air?

Stuffing Papers Down Your Pants III
When your briefcase is quite full,
And your pockets start to pull,
Have you ever stuffed papers in your pants?
When your arms are heavy laden,
And your backpack’s lost in Aden,
Have you ever stuffed papers in your pants?
When the stacks are piled high,
All the way up to the sky,
Have you ever stuffed papers in your pants?
When you’ve oh so much to carry,
And have not time to tarry,
Have you ever stuffed papers in your pants?
What pray tell’s the chance,
That when out the door you prance,
You will ever stuff papers in your pants?

Sandy Berger went to town
To steal some secret papers.
He stuffed them all in his pants,
And called it a great caper.
