I don't see our loyal civil servant volunteering to investigate any of the various Bush Administration mishaps such as the NSA phone mining controversy, the Plame-Wilson CIA leak, the intelligence failures of both 9/11 and Iraq, or the recent controversy concerning the government's examination of hundreds of thousands of private banking records.....for the sake of brevity I have to stop here!

esc929..please try to keep up, Starr wasn't exactly objectively appointed, you uninformed moron...Let me educate you on the story behind Starr's appointment (since you clearly don't know): The three-judge panel that named Starr was led by Judge David Sentelle, an appointee of Chief Justice William Rehnquist and a protege of right-wing Senator Jesse Helms. Rehnquist, throughout the years when the Independent Counsel Act was inactive, ensured that two of the three judges on the panel, known as the Special Division, were reliably partisan Republicans. In late July 1994, Helms, fellow Republican senator Lauch Faircloth, and Sentelle met for lunch. All three initially denied that the conversation included the topic of the upcoming special prosecutor, though later Sentelle admitted that it "may" have come up in conversation, and also admitted that he was looking for a Republican "who had been active on the other side of the political fence" to head the newinvestigation.http://en.wikipedia.or

Also, I have to say I find it quite laughable that some people are so remedial in their thought process that they are unable to use abstraction to glean the central point of a concept. Way to ignore the actual issues presented in the question..how typically Republican.
