I in no way defended Nixon's Watergate behavior. I corrected you on a point of history.

I may have missed it, and if so I apologize, but I did not see anyone defending Nixon's actions relative to Watergate. What he did AFTER it came to his attention is indefensible. The point was that history, and examination of the facts does not show that it was done on his order, or even with his knowledge.

Thanks, Moby, I needed that<VBG>......I can't think that DMA, for example, meant much more than that all that is fairly sure is that Nixon was involved in the cover up. He did authorize the Plumbers, and that puts him closer to responsibility for the break-in, but it remains possible that he did not have a role in that. Suspicion might be reasonable, but that is not proof. Still, one must take care, when discussing Nixon, not to get tainted.......
