Hmm .. Linda Tripp only had her very life and survival to consider.
That was the rest of the story I failed to include. Felt was a powerful, veteran executive in national law enforcement. Linda was a low level employee, and a Republican at that, in the most liberal and corrupt Democrat administration ever. Did you ever read the post entitled 'A few people Clinton didn't have to pardon'(http://home.comcast.net/~carmat/clinton.html )? No question about it she was the genuinely courageous of the two.
