10 Years and Counting

Published: October 6, 2005

Like some jungle soldier discovered primed for battle years after the war is over, an independent counsel continues to work in Washington obscurity - at a taxpayer cost of $2 million year - on a footnote scandal of the Clinton administration: the fall of Henry Cisneros, the former housing secretary.

This inquiry has already consumed a decade and $21 million in vetting personal misbehavior that Mr. Cisneros confessed to six years ago, when he paid a $10,000 fine after a misdemeanor admission of lying about how much he paid a former mistress.

A 400-page report on this crime of the century was completed a year ago and awaits possible release by a special court. Anti-Clinton diehards, yearning for a time-warped return to their Top 10 scandals of yesteryear, are speculating something murky will emerge, or be alleged, or be hinted at - and, imagine that, just in time for Senator Hillary Clinton's next career move.

Conservative polemicists successfully demanded that House Republicans keep Mr. Barrett's budget line open last spring after the Senate zeroed it out, embarrassed that his operation was proving to be not so much independent as perpetual.

after only $80M and 10 years.
