-Caveat Lector- Re: Sam Dash and the Independent Counsel The Wash Post 2/9/99 featured an article about opposition by the ABA and others to reauthorzation of the Independent Counsel Act. Without getting into the merits of that argument, Dash's remarks hit the nail on the head. When the political establishment wrings thier hands over the "abuses" of the I.C., what they are really complaining about is the rampant prosecutorial abuse present throughout the system, mostly due to the Police State Legislation passed by an "anti crime" pandering Congress over the past 20 years. The Washington power structure just hates it when they get bit on the ass by their own dirty deeds. For example, Clinton having to answer intrusive questions about his sex life because he supported federal legislation allowing this in sex discrimination laws. What is sad is that you don't see Clinton demanding the law be changed. Or Congress demanding Federal Prosecutors stop their police state tactics, instead use ad hominum attacks rather then address the real problem. Of course at heart they love their police state rules....as long as they are used only against us, not them. Fred Woeckener "Sam Dash, former chief counsel of the Senate Watergate Committee and an architect of the law, said the excesses attributed to independent counsels are actually standard procedure in U.S. attorneys' offices throughout the country. If complaints are to be made, he said, they should be directed "at federal prosecutorial practices generally." (Wash.
