- I hate to break this to you but YOU are a fascist in every sense of the word... Sarge is right. You attack every poster who even thinks about saying something negative about the Republican Party or Bush. You have nothing good to say about anyone on here who has been right about this mess from day one. Now in my studies of History THAT is called FASCISM.

Sorry to break it to you, but contrary to your idiotic belief, I''ve actually agreed with a few liberals on here since I''ve been posting.
FORMER doesnt care for me too much because I expose his child-like mind.
As for you though, you''re just a tool for my amusement. A means to pass the time.... - Reply to this comment
- No one is justifying this act. I merely brought up the Sandy Berger point based on MCVET''''s nazi ramblings....

- Yeah I know, lets just make Bush King and forget that Constitution. It doesn''t matter to Republican''s anyway. I have a better idea, lets put MORE Democrats in the Congress so they can''t be PREVENTED from getting to the bottom of these things... Hey better yet lets put a Democrat back into the White House and then we can all worry about Stains on Dresses. Wouldn''t THAT be wonderful?? Just think the BIGGEST problem we have is some MORALISTIC LOSERS in the Republican Party wondering who''s doing what after hours!! We should be so lucky again!

The world doesn''t function on a "we can do this because Berger did that" basis for determining legality. Nice try, though.
The administration was under a court order to preserve these tapes. Willful destruction of what is to be preserved is obviously a pre-meditated crime. They CHOSE to ignore the court and destroy the tapes anyway.
If they chose to violate this law and accept the consequences for obviously doing so, you can bet there were other violations of law of grander scale that they wished never to see the light of day. - Reply to this comment
- A decision was made "ostensibly" to protect the identities. That didn''''t come from the bottom up.
Hayden hasn''''t protrayed it as a "some guy took it upon himself" scenario in any way, shape, or form.

I didnt say it came from the bottom up. I merely state that we should wait for all of the evidence to come out (or at least what evidence that will be released to the media).
Not saying this was right, in fact, They were apparently told NOT to destroy the tapes by several higher-ups.
Also, this could have been an attempt to protect identities by Hayden himself. In that case, it would be a decision from the bottom up (providing Bush didnt know about it, that is) - Reply to this comment

"Anyone who is so simple minded to think that THIS is even simular to Sandy Burgers slipping some papers in his sock has been sucking on his Swastika WAY to long."
You are correct. What Sandy Berger did was MUCH worse. He knowingly went into the National Archives with the INTENT to remove documents that ARE NOT SUPPODED TO BE REMOVED. He then SHREDDED said documents, knowing that they are the PROPERTY of the National Archives. This by a man that was the American NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR to Bill Clinton! A man who KNEW that what he did was ILLEGAL before, during and after he committed his crimes.
Sandy Berger''s act was a PREMEDITATED FELONY!
You''re right, the two events are NOT similar. - Reply to this comment
