The Berger Dossier: Pajamas Media makes the Inspector General's Official Report Public

by Richard Miniter

Berger, as the former National Security Adviser for the Clinton Administration, was granted sole access to these documents in order to vet them prior to their being turned over to the 9/11 Commission and congress. As this file shows, he used this position of trust to take a number of documents and destroy several.

[Editors’ Note: The ramifications of this report are profound when placed against the questions of who knew what and when did they know it in the Clinton years prior to 9/11.

As is common with all such documents, the pages have been heavily redacted following a security review. Still, enough facts remain to give readers a clear picture of Berger’s access and actions leading up to the crimes for which he has pled guilty.

Pajamas Media will be examining and investigating the leads and questions that arise from this document in the coming days. At the same time we recognize that our resources in this regard are limited.

Therefore we are making this document public and ask that it be reviewed by knowledgeable people to see what information can be gleaned from the facts that remain visible after the security review.

A few questions emerge on the first reading for which answers would, we believe, be telling and valuable to the public’s understanding of the deeper roots of 9/11.

Among these are:

What was role of Omar Bashir, President of the Sudan, and his relationship to Berger and President Clinton during the days when he offered to cooperate in the capture of Osama Bin Laden?

What was in the ten to twenty pages of notes Berger is believed to have taken out of the reviewing room against regulations during his first session?

Who was the person or persons Berger contacted during the numerous “private cell phone calls” he was allowed to make during his active review of the classified documents?

Exactly what was in the documents Berger stole from the archives, some of which he has confessed to destroying?

The list can be extended as one reads the OIG report carefully. We are confident that by releasing this document in this manner we can call upon the networked intelligence of the Web to find within these pages not only more questions, but the beginnings of the answer to the central mystery of this entire incident: “Who was Berger looking to protect from the 9/11 Commission’s inquiry? Was it just himself and his role in our National Security in the Clinton years? Or were there others that the documents would either embarrass or implicate? ]
