I can remember at the time of Nixon being threatened with impeachment, I was talking to an American friend, and he said he was bitterly ashamed of his country and what was going on.

I remeber saying to him that he shouldn't be ashamed. In fact it showed that the legal system of his country worked.

Furthermore I was willing to bet that if any Prime Minister in England had been up to dirty dog tricks, i am pretty sure that MI5 or some shadowwy organisation like that would hush it all up.

In a way it showed that they had a more open society than us.

What do other people think?
