Still Unreported

Oh yea, they're swallowing thier own tongues with glee over Libby being sentenced today; gotta keep banging that silent gong. All the while, next to no one is watching this train continue to wreck:
There was only one way to stop (the Sandy Berger) investigation, to keep from answering questions about what he did and why he did it, to keep the Bar from questioning his colleagues in the Clinton Administration about what had been in the documents Berger destroyed. Berger took that step, surrendering his license, and stopping the investigation. Ordinarily, anyone who has spent the time, effort, and money needed to master one of the "learned professions" fights with the utmost determination to keep his license. That is not merely a ticket to practice your chosen profession - it is also a badge of honor and accomplishment. Ask any doctor or lawyer, any architect or CPA, any professional at all, what it means to give that up.

For Berger to risk jail and disgrace, to then give up the right to practice his profession merely in order to avoid having to answer questions, he must be hiding something important. And if it is that important to him, it is also important to us.
This is not about beating up Democrats or Republicans. It's about putting the betterment of then nation ahead of (ultimatley) childish and selfish political positions.
