I'm not "afraid" of it. I'm not even sure I've decided whether it should be made public or not. But I don't think it's judicious to rush out there and make these things public before they've been vetted by Starr and congressional staff. For example, with the report, why didn't they check and see if Starr wanted certain parts of the report kept under wraps? There is so much extraneous, irrelevant, harmful, unfair stuff in the report (e.g. the intimations about a tryst between Clinton and Eleanor Mondale, the footnotes about Clinton masturbating after his sessions with Lewinsky) it's appalling. It would have taken a week to edit it for public consumption. As for the GJ testimony who's to know whether Starr asked a whole bunch of fishing expedition questions which may intimate conduct that should not be made known to the public because it is not substantiated. Grand jury secrecy is designed to protect not only the target (who may be undeserving of its protection), it is also designed to protect third parties who are not involved in any illegality and who will be hurt by their being exposed in grand jury testimony. If Hyde and the GOP hasn't even taken the time to see the GJ testimony, redact it to protect the innocent, and think about the implications of doing this, then I do believe it is a rush to judgment and I condemn it.
