sandy burglar fined

after removing documents from the national archives and destroying them, sandy berger was fined $50,000.[bugmenot login] U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson went above and beyond the recommended $10k fine since "The court finds the fine is inadequate because it doesn't reflect the seriousness of the offense."

i believe some jail time should have been involved since even berger admits

"I let considerations of personal convenience override clear rules of handling classified material," Berger said. "I believe this lapse, serious as it is, does not reflect the character of myself."
"In this case, I failed. I will not again," he said.

that he should have known better.
