- What? Is keeping your defense secretary in the dark about arms
- shipments a crime? (Are they necessarily relevant to defense?)
-
- >But that's what the independent prosecutor was supposed to find out.
-
- Really? I thought he was supposed to investigate criminal activity.
- What's the crime here? (I've asked that before.)
-
- >I guess that I am just ticked that in actual fact no justice was done.
-

- >I hope that Clinton and his people can find these files, declassify
- >them and at least embarrass the Reagan/Bush people.
-
- The rule of law is generally considered a good thing, although we see
- that "revolutionary law" also has its fans.
-
- Note that embarrassing someone is rarely illegal, but it sure opens up
- the tit for tat game.... Maybe I'll remember this comment when the
- passport file investigation gets going.
