Here's more on the Clinton gestapo:
Secret police
Dick Morris, who was once President Clinton's closest
political adviser, is now calling for a congressional investigation
into whether Mr. Clinton uses private eyes as "secret police" to
discredit political enemies.
Mr. Morris, who counted himself among Mr. Clinton's
"crisis Cabinet" less than six weeks ago, now has completely
broken with his former boss over the Monica Lewinsky
scandal. He is denouncing Mr. Clinton for employing private
eyes such as Jack Palladino and Terry F. Lenzner, chairman of
Investigative Group International.
"Once, presidents had the FBI, IRS and CIA to do their
dirty work by investigating political opponents," Mr. Morris
says in a column scheduled for publication today in the Hill, a
political newspaper. "No more. Like the vogue of the moment,
investigation has been privatized. Now, it seems, Bill Clinton
has Terry Lenzner, Jack Palladino and a rag-tag band of
private eyes acting as secret police -- without public
accountability."
Mr. Morris resigned from the Clinton administration in 1996
over his own sex scandal but remained an unofficial adviser to
the president until last month, when he publicly suggested
Hillary Rodham Clinton might be a lesbian. Mr. Clinton vowed
to never again speak to Mr. Morris, who now suspects his
own sexcapades were exposed by the same Clinton gumshoes
-- working with rival presidential aides --now trying to discredit
independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr.
