Look at former Clinton CIA director John Deutch. He got himself into a passel of trouble when he downloaded some 17,000 pages of classified material onto a home computer, which he then kept after he left his government post. There was such a stink at Deutch's putting national security secrets on an unsecured computer that President Clinton had to issue one of those 11th-hour pardons the day before he left office, nullifying a Justice Department plea agreement in which the former CIA director admitted he was guilty of mishandling classified documents.
The current fuss is the same kind of narrow-mindedness that forced Berger's predecessor at the National Security Council, Anthony Lake, to withdraw his name from consideration after he was nominated to be CIA director in 1997. Lake never informed President Clinton that the Chinese government had tried to influence the 1996 Congressional elections by funneling $2 million to Democrat candidates, even though Lake's staff had been thoroughly briefed on the plot by the FBI. Imagine those stuffy Republicans thinking that this oversight ought to disqualify Lake from being the head of U.S. intelligence, along with Lake's failure to keep Chinese agents and international criminals from meeting with the president.
It just goes to show how uptight and suspicious some people are. I, for one, am going to withhold judgment, though I do hope he finds the still missing Archive documents. I'm sure they're somewhere on his messy desk, or maybe they got stuck between the soles of his loafers.
