Have They Checked Sandy Berger's Pants?

National Archives loses hard drive with Clinton era records

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The National Archives -- a repository of important government documents, including the U.S. Constitution -- has lost a computer hard drive containing large volumes of Clinton administration records, including the names, phone numbers and Social Security numbers of White House staff members and visitors.

Officials at the Archives say they don't know how many confidential records are on the hard drive. But congressional aides briefed on the matter say it contains "more than 100,000" Social Security numbers, including one belonging to a daughter of
then-Vice President Al Gore. It also contains Secret Service and White House operating procedures, the staffers said they were told.

Now, I'm certain that this is mere happenstance, right? They claim that this is merely backup; that all of the original information is still safe. However, these are the same people that don't know just how much information disappeared into Sandy "Pants Burgular" Berger's Dockers. I find it more than a little interesting that this is now the second instance where Clinton era records have mysteriously vanished.

One can only wonder just how loudly the howls would ring were this to happen to records taken during the Bush administration. Hell, they've accused Obama of covering up for Bush because he kept some records sealed. Yet physical documents are stolen and destroyed; hard drives go missing; incident after incident garners nary a yawn in the media. Ho, hum, lost another hard drive with sensitive information about Clinton-era workings. File it under "M" for miscellaneous and hope no one notices.

One does have to wonder, though, what kind of quid-pro-quo is going on for Clinton - he takes the ambassadorship to Haiti and the same week sensitive documents from his administration mysteriously vanish...

That is all.
