Like Megan, I do not have an awful lot to add to the Sandy Berger saga. However I can suggest a possible line of defense the former NSC head can use to justify his unfortunate behaviour:

"I tried to walk a fine line between leaving the classified documents on the table and stuffing them in my trousers. But I recognize that I did not fully accomplish that goal”

This remains the classic Clintonist line of defense, by adding “inadvertent” to this argument he will have a watertight explanation for his actions.
