I've often thought how the Starr chamber found it so convenient during the Clinton impeachment investigation/witch hunt to interrogate via grand jury -- all cross-examination, and no lawyers, and then they leaked the hot testimony.
While I can't go along with your characterization that "in a real democracy someone would check," I can wonder openly at why the press is making nothing of Ashcroft's failure to appoint a special prosecutor to investigation Novak-gate.
And yet it continues. Do you think it's because so few lawyers become journalists?
