I loathe Clinton and have almost no respect for his integrity, but this 
is BS. Note the "media chose not to touch this one at all" 
closer--boilerplate Limbaughian demagogy. Think about it: Draft dodging 
US President desecrates graves of war dead (in front of the press!!) and 
no one reports it?? Puhleaze. Assuming this were true, where were the 
"grave straightening" photo ops that were the rationale for the act in 
the first place? And the only pebbles around were those already on other 
tombstones? Give me a break.
