From today's Washington Times Inside Politics column: Headline: Don't make me mad No more Mr. Nice Guy. That was the reaction at the White House last week after federal Judge Laurence Silberman ridiculed pleas that Secret Service agents not be forced to testify in the Monica Lewinsky matter. CNBC's Geraldo Rivera, an unabashed critic of independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr, read a statement from an anonymous White House source Thursday night. Here's an excerpt: "The White House is stunned by the judge's tone, which does nothing but escalate the harsh rhetoric in this matter. We are mad, we are upset, and we are getting into battle mode. There is going to be a lot more hardball played. What little cooperation the White House has been giving to Ken Starr will dry up immediately. He will have to fight for every page of documents, and he will never, ever get the president of the United States to testify without a fight." This is the "full cooperation with the Independent Counsel's Office" we were promised by the President? RS
