<<Just wondering j b.. how much legal effort should be applied to bringing charges against grand jury leaks? I'm sure you don't believe the end justifies the means..>>

Once again, we agree. The amount of effort needs to be related to the amount of damage or potential damage. IMHO, no damage was done. If the people in charge of deciding how much effort to use feel otherwise, it's their decision. I would have no problem either way.

If the ends/means issue you were referring to was the actual leaking - I still don't see how leaks would have helped Starr, so I tend to think the leaks did not come from his office. However, Clinton stood to gain greatly from the leaks, both by using them to portray the issue as related to sex, and to accuse Starr of leaking info. Regardless of which side leaked info, I don't feel it should have happened.
