Check the record and you'll see that Clinton tried, time and again, to get Congress to pay attention to this issue --to pass necessary legislation and fund appropriate countermeasures, but GOP leaders pooh-poohed him. Hatch said he was trying to scare people, and conservative commentators said he was just trying to move attention away from his "crimes." As to the CIA and FBI, Clinton was probably lucky if the CIA ever gave him the truth. They hate him, remember? They're almost all conservatives -- Poppy's boys -- who had no interest in helping Clinton look good. In fact, they went out of his way to make him look bad, even when it harmed the country's reputation. Remember the Chinese embassy and the aspirin factory? Those were the CIA's calls, not Clinton's. He was just acting -- pretty boldly -- on crappy intelligence.

As to the FBI, we all now know that the only thing on Louie Freeh's mind for the last ten years has been covering up screw-ups and currying favor with the DC punditocracy by illegally leaking any information he came across that made Clinton look bad. And, of course, those 100 full-time FBI agents assigned to the various Clinton investigations strained the Bureau's resources a little. But, hey, it was a choice of tracking down terrorists or chasing down Clinton's dingus, so of course they chose to focus on the really important issue -- the one so important that conservatives had to tie the country up for a year and trump up a phoney impeachment over it.

Where was Clinton the last eight years?

Unlike most of his critics and enemies, he was trying to do his job
