>> Do we not have the right to see and hear that testimony and judge whether he was being truthful to us<<

>>No. We are not in a legal position to judge or have any effect on Clinton's Presidency other than to be vocal. We have to trust the people we put in office to do what we hired them to do. That's the process - let it work.<<

My question wasn't dealing with the "legality" of insisting upon the right as citizens to judge Clinton's veracity. This is now a political process. If Congress decides by a majority vote that it is in the best interest of the American people to see the evidence then that is exactly what should happen. You are making my point when you say you say "we should trust them to handle this in an appropriate fashion and to come to a just solution." That's exactly what is being done and part of that process was to evaluate the material and vote on it's release. If you disagree with their conclusions, you are entitled to that, but now the matter has been settled by the democratic process. We need to move on now to assimilating the evidence and drawing our conclusions. bp
