 So, what's the Statute of Limitations have to say about treason and sedition, eh? | The outgoing chairman of the House Government Reform Committee says questions remain about former National Security Adviser Samuel R. Berger's removal of classified documents from the National Archives and pledged yesterday to get the answers.
"I don't care if it's Sandy Berger or Warren Burger or Veggie Burger who walked off with these documents," said Rep. Thomas M. Davis III, Virginia Republican. "It's the lax controls that permitted such a theft; it's the way it was handled internally at the Archives and then by [the Justice Department] that is of grave concern." In October, Mr. Davis led an effort by top House Republicans to investigate and hold hearings on which documents might have been "destroyed, removed or were missing."
Democrats assume control of Congress next month, and the request is expected to be shelved. But Mr. Davis said his staff continues to look into the matter, and a final investigative report is expected next month. |
