...to revisit his sentencing:

The House committee report said Berger was never given a polygraph test despite having agreed to it as part of his plea bargain with the Justice Department in 2005.

This seems like a weird case where a House committee did a better job of investigating than the Justice Department. Of course, I suspect that the Justice Department still has a lot of Clinton apparatchiks in it, despite six years of a Republican White House. That doesn't explain the Attorney General's behavior, though.

That is indeed quite sad, but not for the reason you might think. It's very sad that the government is still so fixated on polygraph tests, when there is no scientific evidence they actually work.

That's a separate issue, but I agree, Paul.

A house committee is capable of investigating the berger case,
but unable to investigate vince foster?

You should dig up his bones

I've suspected for a long time that the Bush administration has given the Clinton admin a big pass on a lot of embarassing history. Likely with the idea that when the next Democratic president comes to power they won't be looking too closely at his term in office. This may well be the standard practice.
