I'm not fanatical about the content difference between the original and edited - in other words, was it crucial to land those particular direct hits on those individuals.

But I'm concerned with the precedent set of letting the Clinton Administration people in to make editorial changes to protect their legacy. Legacy protection extending to editorial privileges on major TV shows has overnight become the standard. No Republican Presidents, to my knowledge, have ever come close to the post-term legacy cultivation that the Clintons have. If the GOP post-Administrations continue as they have, shunning the strong-arm tactics with media that were used in this case, that would be a more honorable course. But it will be throwing away an effective partisan tool that the other side uses masterfully and without conscience.

The Clintons still remain more powerful domestically than even the President.

Makes you wonder what sort of documents and notes they have destroyed to supress the truth coming out.

Sydney Burglar was caught after such an act. Was he the ONLY one?

The fact that the changes seem to be so minor indicates the once time "all" powerful clintons are losing their power. I still think there are anti-hillary forces at work in allowing minimal changes.
