On FreeBSD-5.x, with the latest sudo, under BASH-3, if I run sudo and use a
command line of (ie):

sudo clear; command; command

the only item that's logged is "clear".

You only ran a single command through sudo, the "clear" command.  In the shell a semicolon is a 
command delimiter.  That is, it ends the current command and starts a new one so what you have are 
three separate commands, only the first of which is run via sudo.  The others will run normally, without 
elevated permissions.
