Pravin, Years ago Starr began with a suicide investigation that went nowhere. Since then he has proven that by systematically and publicly questioning every aspect of a person's life, you can eventually catch them in a lie. I agree that a very dangerous precedent has been set here. Scumbria

Pravin, OT: In my opinion, the closest thing the Clinton administrations administration resembles is mafia. All they have done is shaky deals. They protect each other by a code of silence. The silence is either bought by money, lucrative contracts, or enforced by intimidation. Star is facing this, and in my opinion, he should have gone at them with the RICO laws. Instead, he decided to break the circle by going after the weakest link (Clinton's little Willie), hoping the dam will burst afterwards. We will see about the dam, but the bottom line is, most of the mobsters are not convicted for being mobsters. The prosecutors got them on less significant charges. With Clinton's "family", just conviction of one purjury is better than nothing, even if the wholesale obstruction of justice goes unpunished. Re: Orwell's 1984 How about giving the "Big brother" all the details about your life, even things you want to keep secret as a condition for employment in the administration, only to find out later, that the information about you is a weapon to keep you in line? How about listening to one of the press conferences of Mike McCurry (sp?) How about one of the lower level "soldiers" in Clinton family testifying in front of the Congress that he lied to his diary, and the truth was the sequence of events consistent with official White house line. All of our rigths to privacy are on trial here. Is procurement of sex from your interns, assistants, state workers, paying them off to keep quiet with tax dollars, intimidating them to change their testimony, lying about it in depositions? I don't think these are privacy issues. If it was my daughter, ideally, I would personally break his balls. Since this is not an ideal world, we have Ken Star to investigate it. Joe
