>>But the Watergate tapes were in several ways a very different proposition. First, they were made with the knowledge of the participants. Dwight, you let that one by. The Watergate tapes were were made with the knowledge of just one participant in all but possibly a few circumstances. Otherwise it would not have been a secret taping system! That's why the recent fuss concerning Kennedy's tapes: about the distorted view they may give historians. So the Tripp tapes are analogous.

That doesn't undermine the fact that they exist. Regardless of the laws in Maryland or Virginia, other states believe that it's okay to recall by tape someone's words, like that slick salesman that promises you the moon over the phone, then delivers garbage. But we ARE talking about Maryland and Virginia, which have different laws. What other states may prescribe is irrelevant. (And no, I DON'T want anyone taping my conversations without my permission.) The point I was trying to make is that these tapes have been passed around to quite a number of people. They've been copied; have they been edited? Easy enough to do... (Got 8800, too....even with SI slow as molasses today...)
