The Berger non-event

CBS NEWS has a little perspective:

“Somebody is manipulating the process,” Republican strategist Eddie Mahe told CBS News. “I will say that categorically, for some agenda of some kind.”

One source close to the investigation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, explained that the probe surrounded a memorandum related to the millennium terrorism plot, written by former Clinton and Bush senior anti-terrorism adviser Richard Clarke.

The memorandum was done at the behest of Berger, and was meant to take a critical look at the Clinton administration’s handling of terrorism. The Sept. 11 commission said Tuesday that Berger’s actions did not impede its investigation.
