Hillary's choice of foreign policy advisors
The Examiner writes about Hillary's using Sandy Berger for one of her foreign policy advisors. Will any of her opponents question her judgment in choosing a man who acknowledges (after he was caught and first lied to authorities) that he was taking top security documents and destroying them. Documents that dealt with exactly what the 9/11 Commission was investigating.Sandy Berger, who stole highly classified terrorism documents from the National Archives, destroyed them and lied to investigators, is now an adviser to presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. Berger, who was fired from John Kerry’s presidential campaign when the scandal broke in 2004, has assumed a similar role in Clinton’s campaign, even though his security clearance has been suspended until September 2008. This is raising eyebrows even among Clinton’s admirers. “It shows poor judgment and a lack of regard for Berger’s serious misdeeds,” said law professor Jonathan Adler of Case Western Reserve University, who nonetheless called Clinton “by far the most impressive candidate in the Democratic field.”Just in case you have forgotten what Berger was guilty of, here's a reminder:
Adler told The Examiner that it is “simply incomprehensible to me that a serious contender for the presidency would rely upon him as a key foreign policy advisor.”
He added: “If Senator Clinton becomes the Democratic nominee, at some point she will begin to receive national security briefings that will include sensitive information. At such a point, continuing to keep Berger on board as a key advisor, where he might have access to sensitive material, would be beyond incomprehensible.”Sandy Berger, who stole highly classified terrorism documents from the National Archives, destroyed them and lied to investigators, is now an adviser to presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Let's see if her Democratic opponents are willing to take on a former Democratic National Security Advisor and question Hillary's judgment in choosing him today to help her campaign.
