Librarians: America's 17th Line Of Defense
Looks like the library police were on to Sandy Berger (from Byron York at the National Review):

Third, it appears that Berger's "inadvertent" actions clearly aroused the suspicion of the professional staff at the Archives. Staff members there are said to have seen Berger concealing the papers; they became so concerned that they set up what was in effect a small sting operation to catch him. And sure enough, Berger took some more. Those witnesses went to their superiors, who ultimately went to the Justice Department.

So THAT'S why you have to go to grad school to be a librarian.

I am too revolted to try to make any kind of serious comment about the Berger affair, except to say this: Is there anyone out there who still misses the Clinton years?

ADDENDUM: Billy Jeff says, "Aw, shucks" to the spectacle of a former National Security Adviser stealing secret papers from the National Archives:

Former president Bill Clinton defends his embattled national security advisor as a man who "always got things right," even if his desk was a mess.

"We were all laughing about it," Clinton said about the investigation into Sandy Berger for taking classified terrorism documents from the National Archives. "People who don't know him might find it hard to believe. But ... all of us who've been in his office have always found him buried beneath papers."

I rest my case.
