Dan, I think this post was dead on, well researched, and well reasoned. My ultimate feeling about Iran-Contra and the Starr investigations is that together the make a fine, by partisan indictment of the over-reaching nature of the Independent Counsel statute. Which I think should be radically reformed or eliminated. I do think that Judge Walsh acted with a bit more restraint that Starr, on certainly weightier matters. Probably has something to do with Bush getting off. Reagan got off largely because he was too senile to really be running the country at least during his second term. (He gave speeches; his aides governed.) However, by the time the Iran-Contra investigation really got going I thought it should be ended. I felt it was distasteful and essentially concerned policy differences. Yet I think if Walsh had acted as fanatically as the Jones lawyers/Starr team, he probably could have generated (or perhaps did) some Presidential perjury. Junk the statute. Doug
