I was brought back to the Starr Report after reading and reviewing the 9/11 Commission Report. I found the 9/11 Report to be lacking as a legitimate investigative report: it was incomplete, imprecise, and full of statements which were arrived at through compromises between Republican members and Democrat members.

One reviewer who, like many, disliked the Starr Report, drew a comparison using the 9/11 Report as the model of a good report. Many reviewers of the Starr Report refer to it as sleazy, pornographic, etc. Obviously, those reviewers have no idea what an investigative report is supposed to be. An investigative report provides the information an attorney or prosecutor is going to use to prepare his case. It must report the findings; fully, accurately, and precisely. Imagine an investigator who writes a report on a brutal rape case. For the sake of prudence he chooses not to mention certain female body parts as well as acts that are either titillating or repulsive. That report would be a waste of time and effort.

Ken Starr's job was to investigate and report; fully, accurately, and precisely. The notion that he did not have to include some of the more lurid details is ridiculous. The investigator is not supposed to delete things he doesn't like or add things that seem nice (as 9/11 Commission did in some cases). That would be up to the prosecutor, in this case the house judiciary committee.

The Starr Report is an example of an investigator doing his job correctly. The criticisms that were reported by compliant media were nothing but an attempt to further demonize the investigator for the purpose of evoking sympathy for President Clinton. In that sense, it worked.

I thought that the evidence that was presented in the report was astonishing. I thought it was great to see the truth finally start to come out.

The STARR REPORT is an exceptional treatise of the woeful behavior of a morally bankrupt president who lied, and with that lie, single-handedly--all by himself with no one else to blame--provoked the enormous expense incurred by the American taxpayer.

These liberal whiners who come to the president's defense and attack Ken Starr, only expose there own heathen beliefs and there pathetically little respect for the Constitution of the United States and the entire judicial system in so doing.

If this was ONLY about sex, they would make a network movie of the week out of it. It would not even qualify to be of the calibre for an HBO movie.

However, this is much more sinister than that--and for those sins, an arrogant, unrepentant, Bill Clinton owes the American people his resignation. Instead, Bill Clinton's smug double-speak only continues to "give the middle finger" to every American who demands equality and justice for all.

Bravo, Mr. Starr. Finally, an accurate, undeniable account of the character flaws and illegal activity of this president.

This book will be a classic text used in the classroom for years to come as we seek to teach about the scourage and alarming behavioral underbelly of those we trust to lead our children everyday in America.

There are very few books that deserve the attention like THE STARR REPORT. Like ripped from the Hollywood headlines, this exact account of Presdient CLintons affair with Monica Lewinsky is the last, full and accurate proof that there is a democracy still left in the United States.

Whether one relishes the many sorid details, Starr's narrative leaves little doubt that the Executive Branch has been soiled beyond the imagination of most Americans. Thanks to Clinton, this report might join the Mayflower Compact and Emancipation Proclamation as one of our nation's important historic documents. Darwin shrugs! But don't blame the messenger. Read this, and you'll see that Starr has merely done what Reno hired him to do. The Report is best read in book form (annotated internet versions are to hard to follow). Here's nonfiction at it's finest!

Upon the reading of The Starr Report I find myself concluding that this man we call "our President" is the political equivalent of Pee Wee Herman. At the risk of offending the liberal establishment, let me say that it is a bit of a stretch for the public to "swallow" the preposterous position that he has a very limited memory capacity, and the inability to know what constitutes a "sexual relationship" . In fact, if that is the case, do we really want a President with such bad memory at the helm of our national security? What else would he forget? Mr Starr has performed admirably against an assault upon his integrity by all the Demos attack dogs, the likes of which are unequalled since "D" Day in Normandy. In closing, let me say to all the Clinton supporters out there: "Clinton's days as President are numbered, regardless of all the biased "American People" polls.

The Starr Report is available to us in a myriad of editions. Most are the bare bones of the Report. This one from the new publisher, Public Affairs, offers not only the Report, but Washington Post commentary, the initial White House response to the report and, for my money, a very useful chronology.

This is an informative part of Starr's investigations. To the morons that keep harping on about the $40 million Starr has spent on "sex": why don't you read up on the entire investigation? The $40 million expenditure has also resulted in 14 convictions and plea agreements (so far!) in connection to the corrupt Whitewater dealings.

No one is above the law, and Ken Starr proves it. Detailed, documented, copiously cited...Starr proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Clinton committed crimes against the people of the United States of America.

This is an unbelievable report. Painstakingly detailed (be sure to read the footnotes) and convincingly written. This is a must read for any citizen concerned with the potentially illegal actions of the First Citizen. Whether one agrees or disagrees with Starr's tactics, one must admit that he presents a compelling case for punishment, if not impeachment.
