Roshomon, brees. People believe what they want to believe, they may not even know that their story isn't quite in line with reality. I believe Jones had her memories stirred up all right, but I also think a lot more went into it than that American Spectator story. Which, of course, contained a lot of untruth, none of it from Clinton, and was printed in a "reputable" conservative rag, with Neocon's "truth seeking" lawyers working on it. Yes, Clinton's credibility is suspect. That doesn't mean the story constructed by the political operatives and lawyers who didn't want their names to come out is true. Any more than it means that the pieces that Starr and the House managers picked out of Lewinsky's testimony are absolutely true, and the pieces they conveniently ignore are absolutely false. The real truth is probably something we'll never know, that's how life works sometimes. I wonder, does this black / white true /false business go with the moral absolutism business? It seems a bit inconsistent with most of what's known about people's memories and eyewitness testimony.
