I've spent an interesting afternoon reading through the links provided above by Nicole.

Fascinating reading! - If it were about anybody other that George W Bush - nobody would have given a hoot, not an eyebrow would have been raised.

The sixteen links she refers to in her chronological table (some are duplicated) date largely from the late 1990's to some written in 2002. The two exceptions are the Harkin Minutes of Meeting dated 6th December, 1989, and the motherjones.com link piece re Family Values dated Sept/Oct 1992.

Excellent exercise in 20 x 20 hindsight, combined with extremely dextrous weaving of exceptionally tenuous threads in order to build the case.

This won't come as much of a surprise - but in this case Doug you are spot on - the whole thing is purely a political hatchet job - the authors know they don't have any evidence against the man, but by God they are going to muddy the waters for a while.
