They get less so later on. But I will agree, the prosecutors also came out less bad in the tape, considered alone, than I thought they would. Which perhaps should not really be surprising when one considers that they fully intended to give the tape to Congress, and must have thought its public release was more than possible. They certainly could be a lot surer of what they would do with it than Clinton could. What does come through, however, is the disconnect between the Starr report's portrayal of the testimony, and the testimony itself. The Starr report's portrayal is extremely one-sided, and misleading. And it is not supposed to be. He's called an Independent Counsel, rather than a Special Prosecutor, for a reason. He's supposed to gather information and come to a balanced view of the truth. Rather than just be out to get his man. Which of course Starr clearly was. Doug
