Bill, are we not all acting as Judge, Jury and Executioner in Bill Clinton's case? I hear a lot about integrity, character etc., but the fact of the matter is that the special prosecutor has been sitting in his cushy job for who knows how many years and has still to come up with a single indictment agains either Clinton or Hilary. Now he has found (could it possibly be that he has actually created this scandal out of thin air?) a new issue and is asking for another $7 MM to waste. I would suggest that this thread refrains from tabloidism and await the action of a grand jury or a court before we judge anyone. Zeev
