JLA,

>>Starr has had a tin ear for politics from day one. Someone could have edited the report with the political reality of "spin" in mind.<<

Somebody did edit the report. Sam Dash. Remember him? Your point about the lack of political skill on Starr's part only goes to further the argument that this has not been a politically motivated investigation. bp

Someone could have edited the report with the political reality of "spin" in mind.

Didn't the Democrats squeal when Burton released the abridged Webb & Suzy tapes recorded from the prison phone? I believe the term they used was "doctored."

Starr's release of the report in its totality pre-emptively negated claims of doctoring and out-of-context reporting.

I find it amusing that there is such an uproar that the report was "one-sided." Well, duh... maybe that's why they call ICs "special prosecutors.
