>>Zoltan, Here we have this mushy journalist defending the right to privacy of an individual who made a rather determined effort to violate the privacy of another individual.A whistleblower, especially one in such a high profile and explosive situation, must expect close scrutiny. Not exactly. Hentoff correctly distinguishes between what an individual does and what agents of a powerful central government can do against its citizens. >>Actually, Ms Tripp gives Whistleblowers a bad name. She set-up Lewinsky and Clinton by betraying a friendship. It was Lewinsky who betrayed her friend first by asking her to perjure herself. Knowing what would happen to her at the hands of the Clintonistas, Tripp merely protected herself.
