David, thanks for not trying to trap me.. that's really nice of you. Have you had any dealings with the law? The President is clearly in a catch-22 situation which I know you understand. As a defendent its his job to defend himself and its his lawyer's job to defend him as well.

Lets take the other side? Is it Starr's job to talk about all the good things the President has done? Certainly there was one grand jury witness who had nothing but good things to say about the President.. but did you hear that presented by Starr's team? Did they present the whole truth? No, it was 110% against the President.

If there's a holly concept within the tradition of English law, its that of fairness. Fairness wasn't present today.

The hundreds of millions of people around the world who watched testimony clearly saw the embarrasing reality of the President of the United States, representing the pinacle leadership of that tradition of fairness, being grilled in a closed room by a team of practiced legal thugs. This isn't what we want of law and order.

We have to balance that image with the immoral acts and sense of outrage Clinton has brought upon himself. Of the two, Clinton going free is the lesser of these evils. Its what a tolerant nation demands, its the right thing for the preservation of our country's expansive view of liberty, rights to privacy and government intrusinon.

If the world were black and white, people would have checkered skin.
