In 2000, independent counsel Robert Ray released his final report about
the White House travel office scandal dubbed "Travel-gate." In it, he said
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton gave "factually false" sworn testimony but
that, as had been reported earlier, there was not enough evidence to bring
criminal charges.
If it's factually false in sworn testimony it's perjury,no? The
independent council was afraid to cross the Clintons. Afraid he'd end up
like Vince Foster committing suicide by gun to the back of the
head.

Today is Sunday, Oct. 19, the 292nd day of 2003
with 73 to follow.
Those born on this day include English physician and
scholar Sir Thomas Browne in 1605; abolitionist Cassius Marcellus Clay in
1810; historian and city planner Lewis Mumford in 1895; actress LaWanda Page
("Sanford and Son") in 1920 (age 83); newspaper columnist Jack Anderson in
1922 (age 81); English spy novelist John Le Carre, whose real name is David
Cornwell, in 1931 (age 72); pop artist Peter Max in 1937 (age 66); actor John
Lithgow and feminist Patricia Ireland, both in 1945 (age 58); former
heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield in 1962 (age 41) and Amy Carter,
daughter of former President Carter, in 1967 (age 36).
On this date in
history:
In 1781, Britain's Lord Cornwallis surrendered with more than
7,000 troops to Gen. George Washington at Yorktown, Va., effectively ending
the American War of Independence.
In 1812, Napoleon's beaten French
army began its long, disastrous retreat from Moscow.
In 1982, carmaker
John DeLorean was arrested in Los Angeles and charged in a $24 million cocaine
scheme aimed at salvaging his bankrupt sports car company. He was tried and
acquitted.
In 1987, the New York stock market suffered its biggest ever
setback, with the bellwether Dow Jones Industrial Average nose-diving 508
points in one session.
In 1990, the Soviet Parliament approved a
compromise plan for a cautious move toward market economy.
In 1992,
President Bush, Democrat Bill Clinton and independent Ross Perot faced off in
East Lansing, Mich., for their third and final debate of the presidential
campaign.
In 1993, a United Nations oil and arms embargo against Haiti
was reinstated in an effort to return the exiled Jean-Bertrand Aristide as
president of Haiti.
Also in 1993, former Pakistani Prime Minister
Benazir Bhutto was re-elected prime minister.
In 1994, more than 20
people were killed in the terrorist bombing of a bus in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Islamic militants claimed responsibility.
In 2000, independent counsel
Robert Ray released his final report about the White House travel office
scandal dubbed "Travel-gate." In it, he said First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton
gave "factually false" sworn testimony but that, as had been reported earlier,
there was not enough evidence to bring criminal charges.
In 2002, after
four days of inactivity, the Washington area sniper reappeared and shot and
seriously wounded a man in a restaurant parking lot, triggering a massive
response from police forces already on high alert.
A thought for the
day: Greek playwright Euripides wrote, "Do not consider painful what is good
for you."
