DOJ Neglecting To Test Whether Berger's Pants Concealed Additional Documents, Are Now On Fire

Michelle Malkin notes this story, highlighting a Congressional effort to compel the DOJ to follow through on the terms of the deal they made with Sandy Berger related to his multiple admitted thefts of National Archives documents.

The Justice Department should administer a polygraph test to former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger to find out what documents he took from the National Archives in 2002 and 2003, Rep. Tom Davis wrote in a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales dated Monday.

Davis, ranking Republican on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, is leading a group of 18 lawmakers who say the Justice Department has been "remarkably incurious" about Berger's decision to remove documents relating to the Sept. 11 commission's inquiry into his role in helping prevent terror attacks during the Clinton administration.
...
The letter was signed by all Republican members of Congress.  

Berger admitted to taking documents on two of the four occasions he went to the National Archives to bone up on his responses for the Sept. 11 commission on his inquiry into how intelligence and law enforcement communities failed to prevent the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the United States. He said he hid some of them at a construction site near the archives building in Washington.

Berger agreed to take a polygraph test as part of a plea deal reached in September 2005. As part of the guilty plea, he was also sentenced to 100 hours of community service, two years probation, three years of lost security clearance and a $50,000 fine plus court costs.

Berger claims he gave back everything he took and that his actions didn't deprive the 9/11 Commission of any relevant information, but since the documents had not been inventoried, there's no way of knowing.

No way, that is, other than strapping Berger to the polygraph.  Hop to, Secretary Gonzales.
