- While I may think that Walsh has not been perfect in his persual of justice,
- I think that it is important to point out that he has been severely hampered
- by the people (slimeballs?) in power. Reagan and then Bush and their
- various appointees have refused to declassify the appropriate documents which
- would have helped Walsh make the relevant cases. So Walsh has been
- hampered by Reagan and Bush and then accused of dragging this out by the
- same people. Amazing!
- Hopefully when Clinton takes over, only 30 days to go now until the end of
- the dark ages!, he will declassify _ALL_ of the unshredded documents,
- I am sure that the shredding is going on day and night now!, and we will
- finally get the truth about what went on in the mid-1980's.

- I didn't know that MacFarlane had attempted suicide. But I still
- don't think that he should have been pardoned.
