- My beef is with Walsh's methods and not the targets. The guilty should
- be held accountable, but the powers of the prosecution should not be unlimited.
- Are we to have witch hunts or investigations?
- The way in which Walsh has paraded anyone and everyone (and why didn't
- he *start* with Weinberger if he is such a key player?) in a series of "make
- something stick" show trials horrifies me. It would even if the target was
- Clinton. We've regressed to "guilty until proven innocent".
