The [1]New York Times has an interesting piece on the political
history of DOJ's anti-tobacco lawsuit that I blogged about a few days
ago. An excerpt:
Past and present members of the tobacco trial team say that
during the Clinton and the Bush administrations, the political
leanings of whichever administration was in charge were always a
factor in a case involving so much money and so many powerful
players.
"I don't know that what the Bush administration has done is any
more politically based than what Clinton did in bringing the case
in the first place," said Paul Honigberg, a lawyer who worked on
the Justice Department's case from its inception and left as deputy
director of the trial team in September 2001.
