Compare Berger, with the severity of his theft, document shredding & chicanery, to the Libby "crime" (on A4) of having a possible conversation with someone on not-outing a non-covert CIA agent.

The Wall Street Journal referred to the "urban myth" regarding the severity of his crime(s). Apparantly the Good Lt wishes to try to continue spreading this "urban myth".

Brachfeld said he was worried that during four visits in 2002 and
2003, Berger had the opportunity to remove more than the five documents
he admitted taking. Brachfeld wanted the Justice Department to notify
officials of the 9/11 Commission that Berger's actions -- in
combination with a bungled Archives response -- might have obstructed
the commission's review of Clinton's terrorism policies.
The
Justice Department spurned the advice, and some of Brachfeld's
colleagues at the Archives greeted his warnings with accusations of
disloyalty. But more than three years later, as Brachfeld and House
lawmakers have pushed new details about Berger's actions onto the
public record -- such as Berger's use of a construction site near the
Archives to temporarily hide some of the classified documents --
Brachfeld's contentions have attracted fresh support.

Whether he copped a plea to a misdemeanor or not, Berger did what he did intentionally - sorry, I don't buy the claim that he absent-mindedly stuffed documents in his socks! - while Libby may have been lying under oath or may simply have as bad a memory as Russert and everybody else who testified and couldn't remember what they had for lunch. In either event, who Scooter says told him the name, and when, is certainly of small moment compared to the brazen pilfering of national government records by a former governement official exploiting his security clearance. Which makes the disparity in media coverage a little tough to reconcile.
