Fundamental national security does not appear to be immediately threatened by the breach; payroll and personnel files were among those penetrated, for example -- but wouldn't those include information about Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky and other intriguing individuals with White House clearance? Just which inquiring minds want to know is a question the Pentagon took the opportunity to raise, saying that much more needs to be done to truly safeguard its systems...
Speculation about Starr's having an improper connection to the Jones case took an added twist late last week. In a story first reported Saturday by the Washington Post, and confirmed by TIME, Linda Tripp secretly met with one of Jones' lawyers on Jan. 16, the night before Clinton gave his deposition in the Paula Jones case, to tell them about Lewinsky's alleged affair with the President.

It seems quaint that on the day Monica was handed over by Tripp to Starr's deputies, she could turn to her mother with the expectation that whatever she said, Mom wouldn't tell. But in Ken Starr's America, moms do tell--or else...
