This week's theme: Did Ken Starr rely on weak and faulty evidence to persuade his superiors to let him expand his Whitewater probe into Monica Lewinsky? Investigating the investigator is nothing new, of course. As recently as Friday, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee tried -- and failed -- to pass a resolution asking Starr to give Congress an account of the crucial opening days of his investigation.
