The tobacco companies bear some responsibility for their plight by giving in and settling and not fighting the cases on their merits. Excellent point, and one I've argued for several years in MSFT's struggle with the DOinJustice. Fight them all the way. What a thoroughly rotten department! They kill women and children at Waco and Ruby Ridge, cover up campaign finance abuses and nuclear espionage for their administration bosses, and attack our most successful companies for being successful. While I am truly sick and tired of this administration, it really disheartens me to see staunch "conservatives" like Bork and Hatch attacking the DOJ on tobacco and Waco, on the one hand, and yet supporting the anti-MSFT vendetta (for financial and constituent related reasons, respectively) on the other. I haven't read P.J. O'Rourkes book, "A Parliament of Whores", but the title accurately describes my feelings about Congress, the White House, and the entire current political system in this country. Principles are dead, the Constitution is dying, political opportunism and expediency rule. -JB
