Clinton Authorization?

Fox News

An investigation by the National Archives and Records Administration says former President Clinton signed a letter authorizing Sandy Berger's access to classified documents that later turned up missing.

World Net Daily says the report cites a Clinton letter of April 12, 2002 designating the former national security adviser and another unidentified person to review relevant National Security Council documents regarding Al Qaeda, Usama bin Laden and other subjects.

Berger was accused of smuggling documents out of the archives in his pants, jacket and briefcase. He pleaded guilty in 2005 to taking and destroying copies of classified documents dealing with terror threats during the 2000 millennium celebration. He was given a $50,000 fine but no jail time.
