TOOBIN'S BOOK FAILS TO REVEAL HIS CONFLICT OF INTEREST

AUTHOR FAILS TO RECOGNIZE CORRUPTION OTHER THAN LEWINSKY SCANDAL
IN CLINTON ADMINISTRATION

(Washington, D.C.) Jeffrey Toobin's new book, A Vast Conspiracy,
is fatally flawed. First, the author fails to reveal that he
works for The New Yorker, the magazine which itself is part of
the Clinton scandals - having participated in the illegal release
of Privacy Act protected information from Linda Tripp's Pentagon
file. In addition, The New Yorker has been sued by Judicial Watch
client, Dolly Kyle Browning, for allegedly participating in a
scheme to smear her [book] as well. Documents recently released
in Judicial Watch's other lawsuits show that Sidney Blumenthal,
Clinton White House "smearmeister," and The New Yorker
communicated frequently during the Clinton scandals. Accordingly,
Toobin has failed to reveal his significant conflict of interest.

This conflict of interest manifests itself as early as page 7 of
his book, wherein he states:

The Clinton years abounded in purported scandals that offered
much in the way of colorful names - Whitewater, Filegate,
Travelgate, to name only the best known - but little in the way
of actual criminal offenses. The futility of the endless searches
for criminals in the White House only spurred the zeal of the
pursuers. Once again, the prosecutors were political heroes -
this time for the other side.

"Toobin's so-called analysis shows not only his ideological bias
but also his naivete, since selling high technology to the
Chinese in exchange for campaign contributions, and the wholesale
violation of privacy rights - of which his magazine is a part -
is hardly something to blithely dismiss," stated Judicial Watch
Chairman Larry Klayman.

==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing!  These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.

Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
