Berger key figure in Chinagate -- Klayman: Kerry's choice as adviser shows can't be trusted

Berger key figure in Chinagate July 21, 2004

Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger – now the target of an FBI probe – was a key part of a deal the Clinton administration made to secure an illegal $300,000 contribution from the communist Chinese government, one of a number of instances in the 1990s in which he was blamed for security breaches.

"Sandy Berger has misused sensitive information in the past," Larry Klayman, who investigated the Chinagate scandal while chairman of Judicial Watch, told WorldNetDaily.

Klayman, now a U.S. Senate candidate from Florida, led the probe that triggered exposure of an illegal contribution made to Clinton through former Little Rock, Ark., restaurateur Charlie Trie. That deal corresponded with Berger's delivery of a written commitment to China that the U.S. government would not take any action to stop the escalating military actions by Beijing in its attempts to intimidate Taiwan.

[. . . . ] In exchange for allowing U.S. defense contractors to sell technology to China, Beijing poured millions of dollars into Clinton's election campaign. Clinton recieved funds from known or suspected Chinese intelligence agents, including Trie, James and Mochtar Riady of the Indonesian Lippo Group, John Huang and Maria Hsia.

As detailed in Jack Cashill's explosive new book, "Ron Brown's Body," Clinton Commerce Secretary Ron Brown served as a front man in many of the deals. Brown died suddenly in a suspicious April 1996 plane crash just as an investigation got under way. [. . . . ]

Al-Qaida-OKC link included in Berger doc? July 21, 2004, Ron Strom

The woman who wrote the definitive book on a Middle Eastern connection to the Oklahoma City bombing says the classified terror-threat report at the center of a criminal investigation of former Clinton aide Sandy Berger might include information about a high-level al-Qaida operative having visited OKC ahead of the 1995 attack on the Murrah Federal Building.

As WorldNetDaily reported, Berger removed handwritten notes and secret documents from a National Archives reading room prior to his testimony before the 9-11 Commission. One of the documents was the draft of an after-action report he ordered his anti-terror czar, Richard Clarke, to write in early 2000. Berger has spoken publicly about how the review brought to the forefront the realization that al-Qaida had reached America's shores and required more attention. The draft report of the NSC "Millennium After Action Review" addresses the Clinton administration's handling of al-Qaida terror threats during the December 1999 millennium celebration.

Jayna Davis, author of "The Third Terrorist: The Middle Eastern Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing," points out the writing of the report was in the same timeframe Yossef Bodansky, former director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, confirmed that Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri, one of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden's lieutenants, traveled to Oklahoma City in the spring of 1995 " to insure the smooth execution of the pending terrorist strike against the Murrah federal complex," said Davis.

[. . . . ] Bodansky is the author of the new book "The Secret History of the Iraq War," as well as "Bin Laden – The Man Who Declared War on America."

Davis' book documents her contention the government purposefully and willfully ignored evidence that implicated Middle Eastern suspects in the OKC attack – evidence that FBI and governmental sources believe possibly could have prevented the terrorist attacks of 9-11. [. . . . ]

Democrats target Bush on file theft July 21, 2004

Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe filed a Freedom of Information Act request today to back his suspicion that the Bush administration publicized the FBI probe of former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger for political purposes.

Berger, who resigned yesterday as a security adviser for the Kerry campaign, is the focus of a Justice Department investigation for removing classified documents and handwritten notes from a secure reading room prior to the Sept. 11 Commission hearings. [. . . . ]
