What's up with Sandy Berger?

I've got to agree with Joshua Marshall (here and here) on about all his points regarding this Sandy Berger story.  My first reaction is: What was Berger thinking?  Second reaction: If he's been under criminal investigation since October why in the world would he think linking himself to Kerry's campaign was a good idea?
 

Hello!?!   You don't have to be a National Security Adviser to realize that when you take a step out of line vis-à-vis the hyper sensitive political wrangling over the 9/11 commission investigation you're going to have hell to pay. When did he think this was going to come out, after the election?

Criminy!
