OK, I see what you are saying. Your narrow point has now penetrated my narrow mind. 8)

I would disagree at this point on inflaming passions. Normally, I would oppose posts meant to simply rile folks up. However, I think one of the reasons that Justice sat on this transcript for so long was that they thought the passion would burn itself out in "short attention span" America. For that reason alone, I am tolerant of passionate postings because if people are not motivated to oppose this style [sealing facts that strengthen the defense, gagging proponents of the defense, giving immunity in such a way as to guarantee a certain testimony] of prosecution now, it will continue or it will get even worse.

One thing history teaches us is that, with few exceptions, people, especially government people, do not give up power readily.

I would love to know why it took so long to get the transcript out. Most of the dates on the transcripts are within a couple months of the trial, so I don't understand why nobody had access to them.
