>Let me put it this way, if somebody is working for me, and they publish pornographic material on a website that is in my companies intranet - I expect to be fired for it. ... since Starr was the person who knew the contents of the report, it was HIS responsibilty to manage the distribution of it, in some way.< Quite fallacious. Congress is not subordinate to Starr. Your first statement by no means supports the second. Indeed your logic is completely backwards. LOL To use your scenario: Had you (Congress) a subordinate (Starr) who had given you pornography (the report), and then you chose to publish it on your firm's intranet (the WWW), then you and not the subordinate should be responsible for the publication, even though the subordinate knows the content of the pornography. (gotta run)

It's rather convenient (not to mention, stupid) to blame it all on the faceless "Congress". The truth is that Starr was the author of the pornographic novel (which he called a "referral") and the Republicans in Congress thought it fit to place the smut on the internet.

I'm surprised that nobody on this thread has ever bothered to discuss David Schippers, counsel for the Republicans, who reviewed the FBI and Justice Department's memos today, after Janet Reno again refused to name an IC for the Ickes matter. Here is a guy, A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT, father of 10, grandfather of 25, who seems absolutely determined to go for Clinton's throat, and who orchestrated the standing ovation that Starr got at the end of his testimony. You may also be interested to know that David Schippers is the former chief of the Justice Department's Organized Crime and Racketeering section in Chicago, and that part of his assignment in recent months was to conduct a review of the Justice Department. Schippers is obviously motivated by outrage, and I would not be surprised to see him making headlines soon.
